The former Roma star added, “We don’t expect to win the Scudetto every year, but there should be some logic to it, considering our passion. Let’s see if Manager Ranieri will still be important next year and if the project will still be significant.”
Vincent Candela, a historic figure in Roma’s third Scudetto victory, made some remarks at the Social Football Summit, taking place yesterday and today at the Olympic Stadium. Interviewed by Tuttomercatoweb, the former French full-back shared his thoughts on the current situation of the Giallorossi, expressing his opinion on the team and the club’s management. Below are his statements. On Ranieri: “Only the future can tell, but he is an expert with extensive experience who loves Rome. It’s certainly difficult on his own. The company is now contemplating filling the remaining slots too, in its bid to become a well-rounded entity, a complete team. We aren’t a team destined to stand at the 12th or 13th position; we are, after all, a crucial team, and there is an imminent need to get back in the game, as they say in Rome. “Ranieri, let’s see what news there will be,” La convinces him to let Ranieri continue in the company at the end of the season? “It’s important to solve the problems today, all those that are there, as I said, within the structure, within the team. Don’t forget that in the last four years the stadium was always full, so we also need to give satisfaction to us Roma fans. We do not expect the championship every year, however, we do expect something logical as a consequence of our passion. Let’s see next year if Mister Ranieri will consider it important to continue and if the project will bear importance. “This depends on him, it depends on the president and how they get along, given they have never worked together before. It’s crucial today, we are focusing on what needs to be done and there’s so much to do.” During the Social Football Summit, you said that in modern football, dribbling is no longer done because, indeed, dribbling is a responsibility. Can this discussion also apply to Roma? Is there a lack of those who carry the team on their shoulders?”
“It was an example, even in my time it was seldom done. In my view, dribbling is performed a little less these days due to the responsibilities, but everyone needs to understand themselves well in order to take on more responsibility, because it all depends on us. We should not find excuses outside the context, everyone must take their own responsibilities, both in the team and in the society. “And this is the reason why everyone flees today, and to talk about Rome, we are all significant, and everyone must take their own responsibilities.”
About Totti: “He represents Rome worldwide. I travel the world extensively and when it comes to Rome, the name Totti is spoken. Then the right thing for him must be found, where he performs at his best. Everyone has their own abilities, and with Francesco we need to understand if having a shepherd benefits Roma or not. Let’s say that he knows a thing or two about football, he could work on signing a new player or rejecting others, he just needs to find the right position.
