The Roma coach Claudio Ranieri spoke to Sky Sports in view of tonight’s match in the Europa League against AZ Alkmaar, a fundamental match with a view to qualifying for the next round of the competition. These are his words to the microphones of the satellite broadcaster: “First of all I would like to remember Gigi Riva on the anniversary of his passing, a hero of Cagliari and of the national team, it is right to start the interview with a memory of him”.
How much do you care about this competition and what kind of team is AZ Alkmaar?
“I am sensitive because I would always like to win. It will be tough, they are a young team that goes at 3000 per hour in transition, a great test awaits us and I am curious to see how we will react”.
How is Roma doing after the first weeks of your management?
“The team is fine, they’re motivated, they’re fine, I’m sure we’ll play a great match.”
Now is the goal to win again away from home?
“The further we go and the closer the moment gets, sooner or later we will have to win… We want to move forward in Europe.”
In the last few hours the new signing Rensch arrived in Rome…
“He doesn’t have physical arrogance, but magnificent insertion times, good foot on both his right and left foot, he needs to improve but I like him and I’m sure he will give us great satisfaction.”
