Roma Gem Eyes Renewal, Veteran Talks Slump and Injury

Niccolò Pisilli and Mario Hermoso addressed the ongoing crisis at Roma and the recent hiring of Claudio Ranieri. The former attended the Beppe Viola Award (via Leggo).

“The table looks bad, but there’s time to climb it and fight for a European berth. We’re still in the running in three competitions. The coach had prepared the Napoli clash how it unfolded, then it didn’t go the best it could, but I thank him for fielding me. We were eager to keep a clean sheet, and we played as a team. We had the right attitude.”

“I’m not worried about my extension. There’ll be time for that, and I don’t anticipate any issues. I just have to focus on the games now. I’m fine here, and my agent will handle it. I have a serene relationship with the club.”

Hermoso spoke up at an event at the Triburtina station and urged the Roma veterans to provide their contribution (via Gonfia la Rete).

“A negative stretch can happen also to the most important teams in Europe. Look for instance at Manchester United. It’s hard when you aren’t 100 percent physically and mentally. We have to go back to that level because we’re the main responsible for what’s happening.”

“We must help Ranieri turn our season around. It’s up to us to right the ship along with all the people that care for Roma. We have many young players for whom this pressure might be excessive, so those with an international caliber must help.”

“I’d like to return as soon as possible, but the doctors want me in peak condition. I’ve been out for five weeks. I’ll be back in this one or the next.”
