Claudio Ranieri clarifies everything about Daniele De Rossi’s farewell

Claudio Ranieri, Roma coach, spoke in a press conference ahead of the challenge with Atalanta: ” the pride of us Italians, plays in a wonderful way. We are facing the third team with this philosophy: Napoli, Tottenham and now another team that always attacks, kudos to President Percassi because Atalanta è a perfect machine. Perfection does not exist, forò I dare say that è a perfect team”.

“But I saw a glimmer of light in my team again,” added the Roman coach, “I saw players who intensely want something positive. Right now we have to make our fans proud of what we are able to do. We are still not well physically, we cannot have everything and right away, but the negative notes that there were in Naples have been received. We have to improve the preventive, but we did well against Tottenham”.

So è returned to the exoneration of Daniele De Rossi: “I read that the blame for the exoneration of De Rossi è of Pellegrini, not è true nothing at all, this the fans must know. Né Mancini, né Cristante, né Pellegrini sent De Rossi away. In fact, they went crazy to make him stay, people need to know the truth.

More on Pellegrini: “I had two phenomena in my career as goal-scoring midfielders: Lampard and Pellegrini. We criticize him a lot, but how many midfielders score the goals that Pellegrini does? I have to help Roma, I can’t say how long this will last, in the meantime he is finding the goal in training, è a very sensitive and very introverted guy, he suffers more than anyone from this situation”.

Final comment on Dybala: “We will evaluate; Dybala training after training. He’s a player who can have some issues, and I have to avoid these issues. When he è turned on he did some wonderful things, but I have to evaluate well each time”.

Milan-Empoli, the probable formations

Milan receives Empoli in the fourteenth day of Serie A. Kickoff at 6 p.m. at the San Siro. The Rossoneri want to regain victory in the league after draws with Juventus and Cagliari. On the other side, the Azzurri are hunting for their fourth consecutive useful result.

Fonseca seems intent on launching both Morata and Abraham in attack. Midfield dike formed by Fofana and Reijnders, with Leao and Pulisic on the flanks. In defense recovered Emerson Royal, with Theo Hernandez on the left, in goal Maignan.

D’Aversa recovers Esposito, although Colombo should be confirmed from 1′ paired with Pellegri. Henderson in the midfield booth, with Anjorin and Maleh on his sides, on the outsides Gyasi and Pezzella. Defense headed by Ismajli, Vasquez between the posts.

Probable lineups

MILAN (4-4-2): Maignan; Emerson Royal, Tomori, Gabbia, Theo Hernandez; Pulisic, Fofana, Reijnders, Leao; Morata, Abraham. All. Fonseca.

EMPOLI (3-5-2): Vasquez; Goglichidze, Ismajli, Viti; Gyasi, Anjorin, Henderson, Maleh, Pezzella; Colombo, Pellegri. All. D’Aversa.

Thiago Motta counts the absentees

.

Thiago Motta presented Lecce-Juventus, scheduled for Sunday evening at 8:45 p.m. at the ‘Via del Mare’, at a press conference. “I will not say; an adjective, I want to see many things – he began -. Give continuity and make a great performance in all senses”.

The coach of the bianconeri will have to deal with so many absences: “The unavailable are Bremer, Nico Gonzalez, Milik, Douglas Luiz, Adzic, Cabal, Vlahovic, Savona and McKennie, they will not be with us. The youngsters who will be with us are Papadopoulos, Pagnucco, Owusu, Montero and Pugno”.

“Who canò recover first? I don&#39t know yet, also because we are focused only on Lecce and we are focused on who’s there. I repeat, there’s total confidence in my players. Those who è will be present will play a great game. The situation must be approached in only one way: to give everyone a little something extra.

On the Salentini: “When you change coach è normal there is something new and enthusiasm. You create an environment where there are positive things. It will beà a complicated match and we will have to bring the result on our side”.

In attack we will still miss Dusan Vlahovic: “Dusan is not è available, and they are the first ones who want to play and do well. Who will play in his place? We will see tomorrow, either at the start or in progress. All the next games we will study in due time, now we think about Lecce. We have to do something great, the rest matters little”.
