Gianluca Mancini discusses Ranieri’s impact after 2-0 win over Lazio, praises Pellegrini | OneFootball

Roma defender Gianluca Mancini did not hide his happiness while discussing the Giallorossi’s 2-0 win over Lazio in the Derby della Capitale.

After the match, Mancini spoke with DAZN and said, “It’s so nice to celebrate after the derby. Seeing the happy faces of our fans is the best thing there is.”

“We are happy, it was badly needed. The derby is a game apart, even if it is still three points. We did not win the Scudetto but it was important to give ourselves this joy.”

“We did very little in the first half of the season, we have to be honest and objective. For a team like Roma, 23 points is really not enough. In the second half of the season, with this push from the derby, we have to give something more to climb the standings.”

“Pellegrini? I see Lorenzo every day, we have a close friendship. I saw him suffer for what he was going through but he was still happy for the latest positive results. When he entered the field I hugged him and told him: ‘Take back this stadium and these fans because you deserve it’. He took them all back in 10 minutes with a great goal, I’m very happy especially for him. He deserves it.”

“Ranieri? The coach has brought serenity and tranquility. We are working well and preparing the games well, the only slip was in Como. The important thing is to have serenity, the fans are responsible for 70% of our victories.”
