Roma-Genoa arrives: what match will it be? And where can Ranieri’s Roma go?
“The important thing for Roma is that we have seen a change. In these matches they have always started the match with the right attitude and they will have to do so against Genoa too. Otherwise it becomes a dangerous match. Vieira put the team on the pitch better, they are more covered, Roma will have to be patient because they can unlock it at any moment. They must not give space to Genoa’s counterattacks. Roma have the technical and quality players to find the right play. It will be more of a head game than a game of legs.” .
How do you see Dybala?
“Dybala is the one who can give you the three points with magic. It’s when the team performs badly that he has to come into the picture and find the magic that he knows how to create.”
A vote for Dovbyk?
“A bit fluctuating. I’ve always liked him, I think he’s a great striker. We need to give him time, it’s not easy to do well straight away in Italy. He has all the qualities to be able to emerge, he’s physique, good technique, he’s intelligent. He’ll become a very important player. Given the number of attackers around, if I were Roma I would hold on to him.”
And Vlahovic?
“He also puts in some of his own attitudes but Motta’s game isn’t helping him. Motta asks you to make certain movements that aren’t in his DNA and the player feels lost. Then you also put in your character, so the things aren’t going well. It’s a strange situation with Juve and Vlahovic. For me, if the right offer arrives, they’ll leave him now.”
How does Castro see it?
“It’s still early to be compared to Lautaro, he’s small, fast, he knows how to kick well. He’s in his first year in Italy in 2004, he can still improve a lot. Lautaro is one of the best in the world, but he certainly has qualities.”
