Ranier: “There is a Roma with Dybala and one without”
Ranieri at the press conference: “Dovbyk, I’m happy that he scored the two goals so he gets back on track and is happy. Little by little his playing time will also increase, he is now training well at full capacity but training sessions are few. Pellegrini is not a reserve, he is an important player for the team Rome and I put it in when I deem it appropriate.
“Dybala is an important player, when he’s well he makes the difference. I’ve always liked quality players, I let him play when I see he’s doing well. There is a Rome with Dybala and another Rome without Dybala. Saelemaekers? he was also hired to make the fifth, why not.”
“Since I came I have counted on Paredes and Hummelstwo central pillars on which the Rome system revolves. Regardless of Roma’s absence, in Como we lacked the motivational aspect and this disappointed me greatly. Today Roma wanted to erase that opacity of Como. Baldanzi good, maybe I gave him too much showcase also because he’s training very well. He will definitely be part of the rotations.”

Ranieri: “If Roma doesn’t recover…”
“New coach? The media must create atmosphere and interest, we accept that. If Roma doesn’t recover, you can’t bother top managers. Let’s do well and then think about who to bring here, Rome is not a place for everyone. I only think about training and working, I have a serious team and the horses show up in the end. The boys have approached me very well, they are giving me their all. The disappointment was the second half in Como because I have always liked the team’s determination and instead in Como it surprised me. I hope it was an accident. Now let’s think about Parma because of a devastating attack”added Ranieri.

Ranieri: “I hope Dovbyk has blossomed”
Ranieri to Mediaset: “We are not going through a good period, otherwise they wouldn’t have called me. We had to respond after Como and the performance was determined and made up of the desire to fight. They have the quality, but there must also be the sense of belonging and competitive malice, and Como had more of it. Dovbyk? I hope it has blossomedhe isn’t training as he should due to a thousand little problems. He needs training but goals help him have confidence and self-esteem.”
