Hummels hasn’t seen the field yet, is there something beyond the technical discussion? Do you see him arm in arm? These are two of the questions asked at the press conference Ivan Juriccoach of Rome who won at the end of the Europa League match 1-0 against the Dynamo Kiev responded as follows: “I see Ndicka’s position with great confidence and his attitude is that of an exemplary professional, at the top. I cannot say a negative word about Hummels, on the contrary, I just have to thank him for how he is behaving. Even if I’m letting him play, he never misses a training session and always maintains an impeccable attitude. He seems like a truly extraordinary person, a great professional, but at the moment I see Ndicka very well.”
Then in another passage he added: “N’Dicka is a player with characteristics that I like and who is growing from game to game. In the defensive phase, I like to maintain continuity, without making too many changes, to provide security and certainty. He still needs to improve in some aspects, but at the I see him as really strong at the moment. Hummels will definitely have his moment and I’m convinced that he will give us a great hand. Up until now, if he hasn’t played, it’s my decision, certainly not because of his fault.”
