The yellow and red team’s coach, during the post-match of the victory against Monza, shared an interesting anecdote to illustrate how pleased he is with the unity and mutual aid within the team.

Unity and cohesion within the group. This is one of the main traits that Claudio Ranieri has managed to bring back to Roma, and it’s also one of the reasons for the team’s more than positive recent run, which has allowed the team to seriously approach the Europa league spot in the championship; a placement that two months ago seemed unthinkable. On the subject of the reciprocal help that footballers give each other both on and off the field, the coach himself tells an anecdote after the victory against Monza: “A boy told me ‘see you the day after tomorrow’ because he wanted to visit his father, he asked me for permission but I said ‘no, there’s training tomorrow’. Both Dybala and Paredes came to me requesting the favour of granting this boy permission. How can I say no? When the group decides, I am satisfied.
