Milan, 12 Feb (LaPresse) – ‘It's a very important match to get back to where we belong. There is self-esteem and determination, we are ready and we have to put it on the pitch’. Roma coach Claudio Ranieri said this to the microphones of Sky Sport on the eve of the match against Porto in the Europa League. ‘Dybala? I esteemed him since he was in Palermo, he is an immense player. I gave him confidence, but he deserves it because he is in another category. They are professionals but they play because they love this sport,’ he added. ’I tell them to enjoy themselves and give it their all. Of course we pay a lot of attention to the recovery phase, so you can never train and playing all the time is the most important thing'. Finally, for ‘Hummels and Paredes are always important, I preferred to leave them out of football in Venice. Now they are ready.’ ‘Titulars tomorrow? On the plane they were, on the pitch we'll see tomorrow,' he concluded jokingly.
