Claudio Ranieri defends his choices after the 1-1 draw between Roma and Napoli and clarifies the management of the turnover: “We played on Thursday night, I couldn’t put the same ones back.
Everyone trains 100% and I have full confidence in my players. It seemed right to start with six new players and then bring in the others when Napoli might be more tired”, explained the Giallorossi coach to DAZN.No priority between championship and cups: “Our focus is on match after match. We cannot fool the fans by saying that we are aiming for Europe or the Italian Cup. I can only promise that we will give our all in every game.” Now we focus on the Coppa Italia match against Milan, scheduled for Wednesday.
"We are facing a team full of talent, we know what they can do. With humility we will try to play our game." Finally, Ranieri denied rumours of imminent transfers: “Has anyone asked to leave? No, otherwise I would have accompanied them to the airport. These are just rumors in the press. Nobody wants to leave, they are all happy in Rome”.

I read the article and I think Ranieri's choices were right. Even if there are some criticisms, every coach has his own way of managing the team. The important thing is that the players train well and are motivated.
