Claudio Ranieri previews Porto return leg | OneFootball

Roma manager Claudio Ranieri attended today’s pre-match press conference to discuss Thursday night’s return leg of the Europa League playoffs with Porto.

The veteran technician was joined in his press conference by Gianluca Mancini.

”I recovered all the players and, as usual, this morning I will decide the starting eleven.””I said at the end of the first leg that it’s 50-50. Porto is a great team, coached by a young coach, he has only played 5 games and has never lost.”

“We will face a very good team with a very high technical rate, and it will be a great game.”

”Dovbyk? He is improving, he is improving and he has to work hard. He is our point of reference.”

”Hummels is recovering well, he looks more explosive, so he is a recovered player and will be available tomorrow.”

”Who will replace Saelemaekers? Soulé impressed me a lot in the match against Napoli, when he doubled on Neres, he really played a great game in that position, so he could also be the chosen one.”
