After the 3-0 victory against Udinese at the Olimpico, the new Roma coach, Ivan Juricin his interview given to Sky Sportsalso answered a question about the resignation of Lina Souloukou:
“I found out via Sky, the news came out, we were eating. I’m sorry because there were family situations, children always come first, I can imagine what was happening to me with my daughters. I’m very sorry for her on a human level, it’s a really difficult time. In the end, we have to think about training well, playing well in matches, giving our best to our fans, focusing on this. The rest is up to others to think about, we have to work well on the pitch”.
It was a difficult moment environmentally, especially for some of the old guard players. Cristante and Pellegrini made very significant gestures, she waited for them, we saw them in person. She waited for Cristante during the break, she waited for Pellegrini to hug him, to give him these moments of closeness. How did these two important players come out of it? Among other things, today they played well in this difficult moment, in this difficult relationship with the environment.
“I don’t know, I found the lads extremely disappointed by Mourinho’s dismissal. They were very sincere with me in saying that they were very sorry. It’s something I really appreciated, because sometimes players hide these things, instead you could see in them that they were sad, that they had given everything and that they hadn’t managed to get good results. In these days I think they have worked well, they can apply certain concepts without problems, they did them especially last year, so it’s important to put in performances like this, even the players who may have been booed will be able to change history”.
