Hello Coach, I'd like to clarify details about Svilar's injury. Was this purely a training injury, or did it stem from physical contact during the Inter match? I thought I saw contact on the pitch, so I want to confirm whether it was purely a training accident.

Yes, there was contact during the Inter match that caused mild bruising, but the fracture occurred two weeks later, roughly a week ago. At least he had fully recovered from the previous injury caused by that contact and was training normally.

Good afternoon, Coach. Wesley has had several issues since the start of the season, even a week before the league kicked off. Early in the season, we never saw him at 100%. I'd like to ask: now that he's back training with the team this weekend, is he fully recovered at 100%? Also, on the wing, will we continue to see rotation—both left and right—or will he be positioned more on the right?

In my opinion, he played some excellent matches previously. Even against Inter, his performance was outstanding. Of course, everyone may have different assessments, but Wesley has had a very strong start to the season. Regarding rotation on the wings and other positions, we have nine full matches to play in the next 27 days, and I believe rotation is very necessary and likely at every position.

Good afternoon, Coach. I'd like to ask about a topic that's been mentioned frequently in recent weeks: the team conceding goals shortly after halftime. Are you specifically working to address this issue? How exactly are you addressing it? More importantly, do you feel that you and the team are getting closer to completely resolving this problem?

You know, sometimes it's just specific details, and of course, we pay attention to it. However, I'm also very pleased with the goals we've scored in the first half and during extra time. So we need to work on maintaining the good aspects while addressing the shortcomings. Although conceding goals in the same tactical scenario early in the second half does give us pause, in my opinion, this is more an individual error by certain players rather than a problem with the team's attitude.

Hello Coach, the Roma environment is often considered a limiting or inhibiting factor. Many of your predecessors tried to suppress or dampen the fervent atmosphere at Roma, because people often say Roma fans can be extremely happy with just a little success, but as soon as there's a slight setback, they fall into extreme negativity and pessimism. Yet my personal impression is that you, conversely, are trying to transform this spirit and passion into a supporting force, embracing it and making everyone realize that this environment can be an additional boost for the team to achieve certain objectives. Is that correct?

No, I don't need to force anyone to support me at all. I think it's actually the opposite: the fans here, with their extraordinary passion for this team, have infected me and the entire team; the logic of the problem is reversed. Playing in such a passionate and enthusiastic atmosphere, with a packed stadium every time, I believe this is very beneficial and positive. The team and the players can deeply feel this strength.

Good afternoon, Coach. A few days ago, Fàbregas demonstrated how to beat Roma in a foosball simulation. I'd like to know your thoughts on his analysis. Do you find his analysis accurate?

I don't know what the final score of that foosball match was—do you even know how it ended? Well, let's find out on the pitch tomorrow.

Hello Coach, I'd like to ask about De Roon's situation. Before the international break, you mentioned you had him on a list of players who needed time to regain their fitness before starting. How is he now? Given Cristante's absence, is he ready to fill that role?

He's now in excellent condition. For a player like him, this break was clearly very beneficial, and the same applies to Pellegrini. Although Morra went to Portugal's U21 national team and Molina and Balerdi unfortunately also went to their national teams, for players who joined late in the transfer window and then the league started immediately, this break was indeed very valuable for them. Of course, the downside is they haven't played in official matches for a while, but now they need to start playing.

As I just said, with 9 matches in 27 days, this packed schedule will give everyone a chance to play. You'll see that, ultimately, statistically, some players will start 5 matches and come on as substitutes in 4; others will do the opposite; some will start 6 matches and come on as substitutes in 3. With such a demanding and crucial schedule, combined with 5 substitutions per match, and hopefully no additional injuries, using the entire squad is unavoidable. For me, this should be an advantage and a strength, which I've always pursued. You can't leave players unused in the squad; all players in my squad have my full confidence, and they're all capable of playing and making a decisive impact, just like last season.

Yesterday we were still talking about Rensch, about how he scored and won a penalty in the closing minutes against Parma, showing his crucial role. This mentality must be reflected in every player. Clearly, some will play relatively more, and some less, but the total playing time will be very plentiful, and it will be crucial and decisive for everyone.
