Claudio Ranieri’s draw with Tottenham helps three Roma players regain their form
The draw was especially important for Roma after a tough loss to Napoli in Ranieri’s first game. The team managed to equalize against Tottenham thanks to a late goal from Hummels. This goal was crucial in keeping their hopes alive for the next stage of the tournament.
Mats Hummels, a German defender, had not played much before this match. He had only come on as a substitute once and even scored an own goal in a previous game. However, in the match against Tottenham, he played the full 90 minutes and made a significant impact.
Despite giving away an early penalty, Hummels scored the equalizer, which helped Roma avoid a loss. His performance showed that he could be a valuable player for the team moving forward.
Leandro Paredes also stood out in the match. The Argentine midfielder had not played much under the previous coach, with only six appearances, mostly as a substitute. However, he played the entire match against Tottenham and impressed both fans and media.
Reports suggest that if the previous coach had stayed, Paredes might have left Roma in January. Now, with Ranieri in charge, he is expected to get more chances to play.
Alexis Saelemaekers made his return to the field after being out for over two months due to ankle surgery. The Belgian winger had not played during the previous coach’s time but came on as a substitute against Tottenham.
His return adds depth to the team, and his performance in the Europa League match shows he can be a useful player for Ranieri. With Hummels, Paredes, and Saelemaekers all showing promise, Roma looks to build on this momentum in the upcoming matches.
