The care of Claudio Ranieri it hasn’t worked yet, or hasn’t started yet. The technician of Romeafter the missteps against Napoli and Atalanta, he challenges Lecce with the aim of finding his first victory since returning to lead the Capitoline team: “Our championship starts now – said the Testaccino coach in the press conference – December will tell us who we are. Lecce is a team used to never giving up. They won in Venice, they drew with Juve. They have good players and the new coach is motivated and we must be determined.
Some doubts about the possible use of Artem Dovbyk: “The boy, except for the attack phase, had a Greco-Roman fight against his marker on Monday, and he managed to do a lot given the conditions he’s in. To date he’s affected. He managed to play against Atalanta but I don’t know if I’ll be able to have him against Lecce. I don’t know how he’ll be. Pellegrini is training well and it’s very important for me. Dybala must continue like this, he’s a quality player manages to satisfy the will of the coach and the team”.
While waiting for a turning point on the pitch, the Giallorossi management is thinking about the reinforcements to make available to Ranieri in the next winter transfer market. There are three priorities, starting with a deputy Dovbyk to make up for any absences of the center forward. Then a starter to compete with Celik on the right and another central defender, given that Ranieri seems intent on once again focusing on the three-man rearguard.
