Claudio Ranieri after derby win: “I know I can count on each one of these players.” | OneFootball

Roma head coach Claudio Ranieri was asked about whether the team can aspire to bigger things following their triumph in the Derby della Capitale.

During his post-match presser, the veteran technician replied, “Honestly, I don’t know what our objectives can possibly be. We’re still in the initial phase.”

On the team, he said, “These guys suffered a lot in the first part of the first half of the season, but now they are recovering. Because they are all good players, with good quality. Even those who don’t play, they put me in difficulty when it comes to selecting the formation.”

“I choose because I have now selected the most reliable core, but I know that I can count on each one of these players because they are all in good physical condition.”

“Now we have to continue with the same level of performances as tonight’s. Then we will take stock of what we have done. We must not think that we have accomplished something. We must aim higher.”

“Tonight I am happy that the team played as a team. They helped each other, we managed to stay compact.”
