How is the team, did the defeat leave any residue?
“We’ve already talked about it, we shouldn’t carry it too much. It was tough, it bothered us, but this year we need to have the strength to face the week with maximum enthusiasm and energy. This is the Serie championship A, we need to manage the moments and think about tomorrow’s match.”
Roma is a big club in difficulty, but remains a big club. You exalt yourselves against these adversaries:
“We have to play great games and above all points. This is the most important aspect, tomorrow we face a great team in a beautiful and stimulating environment, they have found serenity with Ranieri. A beautiful environment, I want to see a combative Parma, who want to do and compete with a team that has a bit of everything, quality, structure and physical strength.”
Did you expect to find such a short squad at this point of the season?
“I always speak with the club, regardless of the moment. A clear vision of what the Parma of the present and future must be. I didn’t expect to lose players for so long, given how this team is built with so many young people, not I was able to manage the squad and the boys had to play a lot and manage the pressure. The injuries are out of our control a bit, but in Serie A many teams are in an emergency at a delicate moment in the championship. beyond young people, it is important to hire responsibility”.
The blanket is short, are you thinking of changing tactically?
“Thinking about changing so much, I don’t know how much it can help the kids. Whether to continue maintaining what our knowledge is, our way of being on the pitch or to change completely. I like to do things judiciously, not extemporaneously. Those are the numbers which they are for some players, it’s quite easy to guess the formation today, but the important thing is to have courage, liveliness and the desire to go and look for the goal.”
Ranieri spoke of difficult matches against a vertical team, what do we expect?
“As if to say that we are the squadron and they are not… But I always agree with what Ranieri says. From what he says it seems like they will start on the counterattack and that we are the big team.”
Ranieri is a master, will it be a game of chess?
“What happened is obviously different. Tomorrow will be a completely different story, there’s an important match to play. Looking at the last few matches, Roma have regained form and substance. They’re strong, there’s little to say “.
Could tomorrow be Mihaila’s match?
“I had to manage Valentin but today he gave me very positive signals, I’m happy.”
Do you think your players could be suited to a traditional 4-4-2?
“I am still in agreement with Ranieri, the numbers don’t count, the interpretation counts. We have particular characteristics, but quite clear. We must always be at our best both in terms of attention and physicality. Then there will be the moment in which Roma will put us in difficulty, we will have to know how to unite.”
How is Estevez and when can Bernabé return?
“Beyond the changes and the situations, even on a numerical level. Estevez is something not serious, he could be with us as early as next week. Even in this last period, the changes are made with the idea of changing or maintain a certain situation. But with Bernabé I have more choice.”
Having more alternatives in defence, perhaps he could have managed Leoni’s introduction with more caution. Today he becomes an adult…
“I don’t know this, he is now an adult and we can talk about him. This is a discussion that applies to everyone, even Giovanni. The insertions must be gradual and thoughtful and we must be lucky enough in some moments to find the right moment. In this At the moment we are accelerating their inclusion and gaining experience, forced by events but also deserved”.
In the conference, Sohm underlined how, conceding three goals per game, it becomes difficult to win direct matches…
“What I also said after the match. The moment we conceded a goal we paid for it on a psychological level. Even at 3-1 we tried to make it 3-2 and even in the final we tried to grab the result. Let’s go back to the discussion of ‘balance, the greater the balance the more opportunity we have to manage it.”
