The words of the former captain: “He has the drive and desire to prove that he can stay on this team. The armband? It depends on a person’s character, it requires great psychological strength.”

Giuseppe Giannini, the historic former yellow-and-red captain, has again discussed Roma and the current situation of Ranieri’s boys after their defeat against Milan. Here is an excerpt from his words, directed to a sports news platform:

A commentary on Milan-Roma? How much can elimination from the Coppa Italia weigh?

“The season did not start in the best way and the three changes on the bench confirm how difficult this year has been for the players and the environment. “I’m not saying that this elimination could have been foreseen, but from now on, what counts above all are the results. Roma must strive to continue its journey in the Europa League and improve its ranking in the league.” The January market of Roma? “We’ve seen an influx of fresh talent poised to make their mark. Scoring big hits with incoming transfers during the January market can prove challenging, with significant and impactful player acquisitions being a rarity. “The new guys need to have the time and the opportunity to prove their worth,” said the source.

Pellegrini continues to face a lot of criticisms: does he believe he should leave Roma to regain tranquility? How much does the captain’s armband weigh on him? “I don’t know if he intends to leave Roma. From what I read and see, I believe not. He has the ambition and desire to prove that he can be a part of this team. The captain’s armband? It all depends on the person’s character, it requires immense psychological strength. When you are the captain of a major city and such a significant team, it’s normal for there to be accolades or criticisms depending on performance. It’s up to him to react, overcome, and attack the criticisms to prove he’s a player who can be part of Roma’s roster.”

Do you like Dovbyk? Despite the difficulties, he has scored 13 goals…

“Yes, I like him. This concerns a youthful soccer player, in his first year in Italy. Understanding Italian football is not a straightforward task, we certainly also need to give him time. “There are not many center-forwards around, he has qualities and needs to be supported, helped and served in the best possible way.”

What does he think about the silence of the Friedkin? “I would be surprised if they spoke, since they arrived they have never given interviews (laughs).” “I believe this is their norm. I would indeed be astounded if they chose to speak up.” “If you were to choose Roma’s coach for the next season, who would you bet on?” “I don’t know. I believe that this choice has been rightly entrusted to a man of experience such as Ranieri. He will surely choose the best option, especially since he is a Roma fan. I am convinced that he will give his all to deliver the maximum performance moving forward and to choose the best available coach.
