The comment of the Giallorossi coach after the success against Lecce: “It was important to win, we hope to continue like this”
Another heavy goal by Dovbyk. And Roma continues the unbeaten strip of reached 14 games (7 wins) and the race to a place in Europe. Claudio Ranieri does not hide the difficulties of the Lecce race. “We made two easy goals wrong and then we gave him the opportunity to hurt us by giving two nonsense balls – admits the technician -. But we believed it until the end. In the second half the game was more fought and it was important to win. It is not easy now to do points away from home with the teams fighting for the salvation area. In the locker room I told the boys if they wanted to make me die before (I ride, editor’s note)”.
Dovbyk
–
On Dovbyk, Ranieri is clear: “You have to ask him more and more to stimulate him because he can do better. The boy is good in depth and we do not always serve him. I asked the whole team to help him and to be good at being ready. He is a sensitive boy and these goals are good for him, let’s not forget the family situation that lives for the war in Ukraine. I like to see him fight so.” With Shomurodov nearby it seems more peaceful. Ranieri shares: “They were always two defenders on Artem, giving him a quick shoulder we created the premises to make him feel more helped”.
FUTURE

Ranieri now also sees the Champions area close. “It is early to say it, but I only asked that I have no recriminations in the summer – concludes Sir Claudio -. We give everything and then we see that we have collected. Now there are 8 games left, all difficult regardless of the name of the opponent. We have done the same points as Inter? We hope to continue, I would be happy to conclude my career with such a company”. Usual return to the next coach: “One like me? It doesn’t exist – Ranieri still jokes -. Gasperini, in fact, is not long.
