After Roma’s 1-0 win over Cagliari in the 29th round of Serie A, coach Claudio Ranieri was interviewed by the media to comment on the game and the situation of the team.
When asked what he was most satisfied with today’s game, Ranieri said: “It was the fighting spirit of the team. We know this game will not be easy, but we dare to take risks because only by taking risks can we win the game. I especially liked the way the teams helped each other and their joy after Dofbeek’s goal. The fans also gave us great support, which moved me deeply. The team did not have enough time to rest, but they still gave their best, and that spirit is very important.”
On the situation of Svillar and Dybala, Ranieri revealed: “Svillar has done very well this season, he is always ready for the challenge. As for Dybala, he took a heel in the game and I didn’t want to risk playing him, but he insisted. We’ll see how he is tomorrow morning and hopefully, it’s not too serious.”
Speaking about the race for the top four, Ranieri said: “I always believe in hard work and dedication. I promised when I came here that we would be humble and give it our best shot. The fans can continue to dream and our task is to work hard. I never pay attention to the table and it’s not until the crunch time at the end of the season that we see who is strong. But of course, we will try to get into the top four.”
For Svillar’s contract extension problem, Ranieri said it is not his responsibility, he just hopes Svillar can continue to play for the team.
In addition, Ranieri also talked about the situation of Renshi, he said Renshi would be examined tomorrow, and now some discomfort. There were times during the game when he considered replacing Rensch or making him a late substitute. Rensch was used to playing at a high intensity at Ajax, but here he needs to give more.
After the game, Roma reached the last 13 rounds of unbeaten and six consecutive wins in the league, with 14 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses, ranking seventh in the Serie A table, continuing to maintain the hope of hitting the top four of the league.
