On Tuesday, training will resume. The coach will begin preparations for the match against Napoli.

Gone are the days of half-hearted efforts or man-to-man marking, with breakaways reaching almost halfway down the field. And no more high, aggressive defense, with the midfielders who press high and risk leaving the defense exposed. Napoli’s Ranieri will probably also start again from a three-man defense (which can become five, with the two wingers extending the line). Ranieri Shields Roma, Still Employs Three-Defender Formation, but with Hummels It Will Be More Solid: a system which had already been steered by De Rossi and served as the foundation for Juric. But it will be a different defense in terms of concepts and dynamics. Another topic concerns the duo Hummels-Hermoso. He has already voiced his opinion on the former, but not on the latter. The ex-Dortmund player, who has been more active on social media than on the field in recent months, wants to play: German fans are pushing for his return to Bundesliga and he is considering it.   Just as Hermoso is considering a return to Spain: in recent days there has been talk of interest from Real Madrid, which is short of centre backs. He has, of course, kept the door open. After the break for the international games, the coach will also get to know Dovbyk: he played yesterday against Georgia. This serves as a tantalising prelude to the Napoli-Roma match scheduled after the recess. “He could become the new Vardy,” some Ukrainian journalists have written after the announcement of the Testaccio coach. The life of the forward has changed after meeting him at Leicester. He has worked extensively on the mental aspect, but also on the tactical side.

Antonello Venditti spoke about Ranieri’s return: “I’m happy for him, not for the sense of Romanism, but for the sense of competence, the knowledge of what we’re talking about.” Sorry, there’s no text provided to translate or work with. Please, provide a text. “It’s not important to be born in Rome, the important thing is to behave like a Roman.” At the event Bibenda 2025, dedicated to the award of 747 wines and 52 grappas, among the notable guests, in addition to Claudio Ranieri, there was also…. Massimo D’Alema commented on the return of Sir Claudio, stating: “Ranieri is a wonderful person who has taken on a tremendous amount of responsibility for which I have expressed my full solidarity.”
