Claudio Ranieri encouraged despite 0-2 loss to Atalanta: “I congratulated the team.” | OneFootball

Roma manager Claudio Ranieri analyzed the team’s defeat to Atalanta.

In his post-match interview with Sky Sport, Ranieri remarked, “As long as we had the strength, we responded to every blow.”

“We returned at 5 in the morning on Thursday, we recovered as best we could.”

“They were able to make appropriate changes, I no longer had suitable midfielders.”

“I congratulated the boys for the chances they created,” he added.

“We also had the opportunity with Dovbyk to take the lead. These are episodes where if you are determined you can take them to the other side. Atalanta are fighting for the Scudetto, they are ready. We are not. Simple.”

“I congratulated the team. Now December is coming and we play every 4 days so we can finally pick ourselves up, but there are no easy games.”

“Hummels and Cristante felt discomfort in their backs and muscles, we have to evaluate them tomorrow morning. I would have preferred Mats to have warned me before, that way I would have made different changes.”

“Dybala hasn’t had a full training session yet, today he had a great match. Dovbyk too, he went to the national team but didn’t play because he had some problems, yesterday he told me he didn’t know if he could play, but today he had a great match.”
