In the post-match press conference, the experienced coach of the "Wolves," Klaudio Raneri, shared his thoughts on the game.
“We saw once again that Fiorentina is a team with players who possess a very high level of technical skill. They were not an easy opponent for us. We struggled a lot in the first half, the opponent put up serious resistance. In such moments, scoring a goal at the end of the first half was extremely important. We scored, and this allowed us to distribute the energy of the players coming onto the field in the second half correctly,” said Raneri.
The coach specifically noted that every moment of the match required serious attention and hard work.
“Winning was not easy. The Florentines came prepared against us today and provided serious resistance until the end. However, our players also acted with composure and patience for 90 minutes. Therefore, this victory is particularly significant for me. I enjoy such intense games,” added the experienced Italian specialist.
He also emphasized that every player is showing their maximum potential for Roma to succeed in the decisive phase of the season, and this needs to be appreciated:
“Currently, every game is like a final for us. We need to put all our effort into achieving our goal – securing a place in the Champions League. In this journey, small victories are also of great importance. This victory over Fiorentina was one of those victories. Our team proved once again its mental and physical readiness,” concluded Klaudio Raneri.
At the moment, Roma has good chances in the fight for top positions in the Italian championship after the 35th round. The team, led by Klaudio Raneri, will face serious opponents like Atalanta, Milan, and Torino in the upcoming rounds. Winning in these matches is also very important for the "Wolves."
