The Argentine’s words: “We must start again from what the coach asks of us. Bove? I still get goosebumps.” “I send a strong hug to him and his family,”
Leandro Paredes spoke to Dazn’s microphones at the end of the match against Atalanta. Here are his words:
Thoughts for Bove? “I was watching the game, at the beginning I did not understand, I still have chills even now. “I’m sending a big hug to him and his family.”
“After scoring the goal, you ran your hands through your hair, almost understanding that it would be a hard blow.” “We put up a great game until the moment of the goal, then that incident decided the match. We just have to keep going, press forward and think about the next one,”
Should we restart with a tactical setup? “Certainly, we need to start from what the coach demands. It wasn’t easy to play such a game against Atalanta right after London. “We must look ahead and get to work starting tomorrow.”
The applause of the public – what does it mean to you? “We need to thank the fans because it’s now hard for them to sing as they do.” “In other cities, I don’t think they do it. We thank those who support us.” “PAREDES IN PRESS CONFERENCE”
“Is there regret or do you think there is misfortune? What did you say to each other?” “We were all upset. Things are not going our way, but we put up a great game against a formidable team.”
There’s been much talk about your future in Argentina. Could you share what’s going through your mind? “I’m fully committed to Roma, it’s always been like this, I’m happy here, I’m satisfied even though the past two months have been extremely challenging for me. “I have always thought about Rome, this city, I feel comfortable here, I love Rome and so does my family. I have never contemplated this issue,” he divulges.
What has changed since Ranieri arrived? “He has changed our mentality and morale. Seeing a coach like him arrive, with all that he’s accomplished in football, is a positive thing. “We are definitely making excellent progress. However, the outcomes still await,” What happened with Zaniolo? “I don’t know what happened, because it happened with Kone, I don’t know what they said to each other.”
The Roma-Lecce is now a heated head-to-head clash “It’s not at all pleasant to see us there, we have a team that belongs at the top. Things are not turning in our favor, we have to work to find results.” “Did the final execution fail today?” “Definitely, we just needed to score. We put forth a splendid performance against a very strong team. “Beyond that, that incident decided the match.”
How essential is it to have rediscovered the backing of the fans? “It’s highly crucial for us”. “We are witnessing a different Rome, transformed, showing new things on the field. We must take this moment as a turning point.”
