The central defender enthusiastically cheered for his squad mates from Trastevere: “Watching the boys play a good game and achieve an important victory away from home.”

Mats Hummels did not depart with the team for the match against Venice. Ranieri granted him and Paredes a few days of relaxation to regain their energy. Today, he took the opportunity to stroll around the capital’s downtown – in Trastevere – while not forgetting about his teammates: “Watching the guys play a good game and secure a crucial away win”. The former Borussia Dortmund star watched the match on his mobile phone. On Thursday, he will return as a starter against Porto in the Europa League. However, there has been no shortage of controversial comments on social media. Not everyone appreciated Ranieri’s decision to send the two footballers on ‘holiday.’
