Ranieri previews Cagliari match
Roma manager Claudio Ranieri spoke ahead of Sunday’s Serie A fixture with Cagliari.
The veteran coach answered questions from the media.
”Before starting I wanted to go back to Hummels’ red card: I had seen the image on my phone, it was definitely a little forced. There are not all four parameters to talk about a clear opportunity, the referee was strict, he could also give a yellow in that situation, if it had been Bayern-Real after 10 minutes he would have given the yellow and no one would have shouted at the scandal.”
“I always liked Turpin, he is a decision-making referee, we are bitter but this is football. I’m doing this conference because Cagliari is a special city to me and I want to pay respect to it.”
”Koné and Saelemaekers with little playing time? They are very strong players who are in my mind to make Roma strong in the future. For me there is no news.”
”Dovbyk? Dovbyk must decide, he must react and show what kind of player he is. I believe in him, but he must believe in us.”
”I said to him: “You think about scoring a goal, we think about the performance. If you do a good performance and don’t score, I’ll go over it. But if you don’t do the performance I ask of you and don’t score, then I start thinking… That’s what I ask of the guys, to give me the performance. I know they can’t always give 100%. But if you don’t give me either the performance or the goal, you leave me with a bitter taste.”
”Has Dovbyk given up? I don’t think, I don’t want to believe it. If he gives up, I have 25 others who want to play…“
”The next coach? Do you think if there’s something I’ll come and tell you? Wait for the end of the season and you’ll see who has been chosen by the president. I don’t change my mind, I have a range of action and I see what is best for the club.”
“Now the focus is on the next ten games, it’s the most important thing for everyone. Five games away and five at home, let’s play to the death and then we’ll collect the points we’ll deserve.”
“Hummels apologised to everyone, he is very sorry.”
”Dybala? He is a staple of next year, he is a player that elevates the team. I repeat. He’s worth the price of admission.”
