The era of has officially begun “Ranieri ter” at home in Rome. The Roman coach spoke at a press conference this Friday, introducing himself to his fans for the third time and speaking, as always, very clearly to the public. These are the main statements of the coach Claudio Raniericollected by the correspondent of TMW: “Before starting I wanted to dot the i’s. I had stopped coaching and I’m not saying this because I have to say it. I have had more requests in recent months and I have always said no. Only in two cases could I return to coaching: for the Roma or for Cagliari, when something could go wrong. I wanted to look at football from another side. Fate wanted me to come back here. I started here as a player and I will end up here as a manager.”
Did they take his words to heart to set up a company project?
“I speak to his face. I told him and he left me speechless for the good he wants for this team and this club. I can’t see and travel the world and see this Roma like this. That’s why he took me. Now it’s up to me with my experience and my way of doing things. I hope to succeed in this mandate. I couldn’t say yes and I thank him because he brought me to the parent company I don’t want to procrastinate, I’ll do A. I have talked to the Friedkin family. And I was amazed by the love, believe me. It puts a boatload of money and it has no results.
What is the best gaming system?
“Now all the coaches try to make changes during the match to upset the plans. I can’t tell you one thing because I would change it along the way. I’ll change, play 3, 4 or 5. I’ll see match by match. I’m first of all a fan This is why I feel like saying to our fans: ‘Stay close to us’. Playing at home with whistles hurts. I believe in luck if you go and sweat it out eventually luck has to turn. I want a cohesive audience.”
Francesco Totti in Rome? Possible?
“Now we need to think about taking Roma to the top. Then we’ll see if Francesco can give us a hand. This doesn’t mean Totti returns to Roma. Be clear.”
Requests for the market?
“Let me meet the team to talk about the transfer market. Roma have signed many good young players. But they must be included in a compact team. Now we need to protect the young players who have undergone the various changes that have taken place”
How did you find the locker room?
“We talked and we will talk. Daniele is a great person so I will talk to him. The changing room (quarter of the changing room, the one that remains with the various departures)? There is a bit of electroshock but I hope to bring everyone into the same direction”.
Do you think there is a corporate vacuum?
“The dressing room is important, not the management. The fewer people I see, the better. Unfortunately in Italy the president must be there. All foreign ownership very little. The family realized that a figure like mine was important in any case. What they gave me said, I repeat: ‘I want to bring Roma to a high level. That’s why I called you’.”
The Dybala case? Did they tell you anything?
“I do as I please. It’s already happened to me in the past. I went home because I let a player play that the owners didn’t want me to put on the field. I made the Dybala thing clear straight away. I choose who I want him. He’s in another category. He will have my utmost consideration. I would let him play 90 minutes every game, and if he can do it I won’t take him away.”
When did the Friedkin family call you?
“He called me on Monday morning. The president is waiting for us in London, Florent told me. We left. Now we have to try to do the best for Roma.”
Hummels? Will he play?
“I went to watch a few matches and saw the final against Real. Why shouldn’t he play? Let’s see. He too has a certain age, a bit of everything. I choose who makes me win. The coach The one who makes the least mistakes is good.”
