Rome, Garcia: “Head down and pedal, we have to recover points.” Totti out with Sampdoria – The Republic

Rome – “Tomorrow we will face Sampdoria, in case you did not know.” It ‘a Rudi Garcia piqued, what the press conference ahead of the match on Wednesday evening, approaches to reporters, curious to analyze the reasons for turnover, appeared counterproductive for a large part of the square, which led to the draw against Sassuolo . The French, however, prefer to look ahead and use one of his usual verbal metaphors: “We are like a cyclist, heads down and pedal. The points lost at home to be recovered away.” Although without Francesco Totti and Antonio Rudiger.
“HOW TO CYCLISTS, HEAD AND LOW CYCLE” – “The results of the teams in Europe have resorted to turnover, They show that there is not a written rule. The problem lies not so much in turnover as in the play well to win: against Sassuolo could have done better. ” The coach of the Giallorossi would like not to think about the choices made in the same home against the Emiliani: they have lost the chance to reach the third victory in a row that would have avoided the jump to +4 Ranked Inter: “Who is in front of it proven to be good, but four days are too few to draw conclusions. What should they say the fifteen teams that are less of us? The ranking has more on a psychological level and on that point, at this time. ” Certainly, however, the lost opportunity has encouraged the spread of a sense of regret, probably within the squad after considering the reactions of the players, already during the match (see the reaction of Iturbe to return – only to apologize to the group Monday morning – or non-exultation Totti to 300th goal with the shirt of Rome): “The season does not end at the fourth day – Garcia said at a press conference – We had good matches, others less so, but we must be calm and work calmly. We are motivated and need a longer period in order to be judged. Winning against Juve, drew against Barcelona I do not think something so catastrophic. What matters – said the coach – is to make a great race tomorrow and take all three points. After the strip with Carpi, Bate and Palermo will have a clearer picture, we are as a cyclist, heads down and pedal to the maximum to make many points as possible, both in the league and in the Champions League. “

“I HAVE A LARGE PINK, LOGICAL SEEK TO ALL” – Doubts, as usual, it has in every department. Especially in defense where, thanks a problem accused by Rudiger – that will not be called “due to blunt trauma to the left knee back in the game against Sassuolo” – the choices will fall sull’arretramento De Rossi, or on inserting Leandro Castan: “Leo was not playing for a year, he became the first to be ready but it is physiologically a subsequent moment of physical difficulty. It is only this: has competition and I want to put it in the best conditions to express themselves fully. Slowly It improves, is a very important player for us and will have his space. And ‘better you play when it’s at 100%. ” Certainly that was allotted little time to check the physical condition of his pink, given the close commitments for the period; after the last home equal underlined the lack of responsiveness of some elements in to be ready after spending so much energy against Barcelona in the Champions League: “I never say things without having talked with all the components. I found some players lack rhythm, maybe that’s the problem: not having done enough for some games, that could allow everyone to be ready when called upon. The problem – concludes Garcia – could have been longer if I had not done the turnover Sunday. we reflect on the timing of the game, I have a rose and it is normal to appeal to everyone. They are simple everyday matters. ” So the video-training session on Monday in which the technician showed its what really does not want to see on the field: already in the match against Sampdoria.

Totti FA 300, BUT NOT IN GENOA THERE WILL – “Totti after training – reads the statement posted on the website of the Giallorossi – experienced a worsening of pain in the finger of his right hand caused by trauma accused during Sunday’s game. The imaging studies have ruled out the presence of fractures. ” But this will not allow the Roma captain, fresh realization of the 300th in red and yellow jersey, to attend the trip to Genoa: Totti, in fact, is not on the list of players called up for the match against Sampdoria. One less, therefore, for the choices of Rudi Garcia, this time for real, will not rely on Edin Dzeko.
