June 19, 2020"At the beginning I asked for the resumption of the championship, but I wanted it immediately. Now the championship is totally distorted because Covid has entered a lot inside us and this is not an excuse, inside of us we will try to give our best and more. Now it's all a question mark, I don't know how strong a player is and if he will be able to do it for 90 minutes. " So the Sampdoria coach, Claudio Ranieri, in the press conference preceding Sunday's match against Inter at San Siro.
"Many say that this is like a championship start, but it is not the same thing, a beginning is when the players return from the sea where they have released the stress. When you start the retreat you find a relaxed team full of desire to do. This it is not, we made a preparation but now we have to see, the boys have behaved very well, but now I want to see on the field what we are capable of doing. I am like Saint Thomas, I want to see on the field what we are capable of doing ", he repeats Ranieri.
"We have seen from the Italian Cup that the teams are doing well once upon a time. Curiosity is knowing how much we will manage at the right pace. We will also have to evaluate well during the game how the boys recover", adds the Roman coach.
And he concludes on the Nerazzurri. "In the Italian Cup against Napoli I watched a tonic, strong Inter. He turned the ball quickly and I saw it in good health. Ospina made three or four decisive saves. He has perhaps not yet ninety minutes left, but he will try to start drumming ".
