“This is why Hummels doesn’t play”

“Every match is important because we are behind, this is a direct clash and has more value. It will be fundamental to win.” As Ivan Juric, Roma coach on the eve of the match against Fiorentina. “The team has taken the right path and must try to go to the Champions LeagueI saw many positive things on Thursday too. I think we’re doing better than I expected. Conviction needs to be rebuilt. My job remains to improve the players and get them to the top.”

“The Fiorentina is a team of great value“, he continued, “Palladino has 20 important elements and has made optimal purchases. He took the right path. We have had it too bad luck. Pellegrini, for example, took a lot of posts and crossbars, but I can see them clearly. They create many dangerous opportunities, then it’s clear that we need to improve the finishing aspect. The game depends on those goals we miss. We are first for shots on target, but the quality of the players is there.”

Juric also spoke about the training: “Mancini is finehe is recovered and will be with us. We see Soulé, he still has a fever and we will evaluate it today. Saelemaekers is recovering well, I hope we will have him slowly with us after the break. I think El Shaarawy will be back in the next one.” On the difficult period of Zalewskiat odds with the environment: “I’m sorry about the booingbut I congratulate him on the match against Dynamo Kiev. For me he was top, always on point. He had the right reaction and proved that he was not a child. I expect what he does from the wingers, we need to be more daring with dribbling.”

Juric also spoke about Hummels who has not yet made his debut with the Giallorossi: “It’s one technical choice don’t know what else to say. I think Ndicka should play there, where he can become an absolute top player. He is proving it and tomorrow he will have a good test with Kean. I already explained it, it’s very simple. I go to training and see who is better. I don’t look at age or CVI aim for those who give me greater security. Even Hermoso has played little and yet we are talking about someone who comes from Atletico Madrid.”
