The Brianzoli coach exclaimed: “Ranieri has always been a fair person. If you stand too high, they start at a fast pace, the intelligence lies in pressing or staying put.” “Those manning the barricade are bound to concede a goal sooner or later.”

Roma has put their success against Porto in the Europa League aside to dive back into the championship. With Bologna’s defeat in Parma, they can potentially narrow the gap. This Monday evening, Monza will arrive at the Olimpico, coached by newly reinstated Alessandro Nesta (who has already made a comeback) following the dismissal of Bocchetti. The coach of the Brianzoli, former flag-bearer of Lazio, spoke at the press conference:

“Going over the hill to find the square”. In light of the match against Roma, do you see this opportunity to go over the hill? “I obviously haven’t gone over the hill. “We had not found the key to attempt to elevate the team to a higher level. The draw with Lecce is decent, but to win games, we must do a lot more.”

Resumed Wednesday. Is it too late for a team that’s last and a coach who understands the group? “It’s not that you win more games if you train more. There are players who have always been in the game and who are mentally exhausted. Those who were lagging behind have put in the work, we have tried to provide benefits to all. Sometimes being on the ground, persisting against a wall is worse than taking two days off. Even in tough times, clarity must be the best thing. “Sometimes spending two days with your family is better,” claimed our source.

In Ranieri’s view, the coach should be searching for players with the right spirit. “Who among the new recruits has impressed her the most? What emotions does she feel upon returning to the Olimpico? What does she think of her career as a footballer?” The locker rooms each have their distinct roles. You may have technical or emotional leaders. This year, we’ve lost players who have this skill at heart, I’m thinking of Gagliardini and Pessina. Keita has had a career of that caliber, and he can help us. Some are young and struggle, at times it’s difficult to replace a player like that. Games come in waves: the strong teams that accept the negative wave and manage it. Not everyone knows how to recognize these things, I believe this is what we’ve been missing. Apart from technical skills of Pessina and Gagliardini, many players were missed, as well as some points. “Ranieri has always been a respectable person, he’s an honest gentleman in his judgements. In Rome, he contributes an added value and fits in perfectly,” “How important was it for you to learn from the elders? Are young people still ready to grasp the secrets from the elders?” “I hope the younger generation could learn something. Today, I recognize that young people lack a bit of ambition.” A person with talent has an obligation to try and show it to the world. The difference with our generation is that perhaps today there is more prosperity. “I see many who are settling and I do not like it.”

When Monza faces Roma or Lazio, media interest in your past experiences is triggered. What feeling does this stir in you? Is this true passion or are you perhaps indifferent? “I grew up in Rome. I was raised on derby games and every derby was a dreadful experience. In a city where soccer holds significant importance, whenever I go to the stadium to watch Lazio, if you stir up a bit of past, I enjoy it. Hence, I feel those matches.”

Injured? “Keita still has to work but will slowly get back into his condition. “We have recovered Birindelli, but in a clash during the game, he has suffered a cut that required a few stitches and therefore will not be available for match against Roma. Both Pessina and Gagliardini need a little more time to recover. We have the final training session tomorrow and we have situation to evaluate.” Brindelli’s cut is lateral, but not frontal. He’s doing well, but the situation remains quite peculiar. “She spoke of wickedness, perhaps there’s a lack of it. How can this aspect be corrected? I know that it is so, and that today people are trying, it all lies in the motivations, I know I did not succeed.” For me, it’s crucial to remain in one place, this makes all the difference. I wanted to stay at Milan at all costs, I knew that in another club it would have been worse. “Sometimes you can search for motivations, but if you don’t desire to remain in a place for three years, that makes a difference.”

Have you spoken with Pessina? Do you believe that he is on a similar path as Berardi? “I can’t say, I speak with Pessina to understand when he will return. Bringing him back into the field would ignite a glimmer of hope among his peers. It remains uncertain what decisions he could make. “But we missed Pessina.”

Having seen Roma, would you sign for a draw? For the attack? “We have prepared the match; we can’t come up with another tactic from the back.” The goal hits you, sometimes you take a risk. If you stay too high, they’ll accelerate past you, the intelligence lies in pressing or staying Put. “Eventually, if you barricade yourself, the goal will come.”

Following the match with Lecce, Balde speaks about the pleasure of playing games. “Does she think it can help?” We strived to maintain a reasonably high level of self-esteem. In the end, it is all about our mindset, our desire to be in certain places. It’s motivations that truly matter. “Monza hasn’t scored since Maldini’s goal against Bologna. What can be done?” “We need to shoot more on the goal, before being sent off we had shot. “Even with Udinese, there were 27 shots, but they needed to find the back of the net. Goals need to be scored and then, the statistics will change.” You haven’t provided any text to translate. Could you please provide the text?
