Roma’s performance against Tottenham Hotspurs saw Ranieri’s team revitalized and playing with courage and conviction.
Ranieri’s choice to start Mats Hummels paid off with the German defender gifting the Giallorossi a late equalizer to make it 2-2 in Tottenham’s stadium.
Today’s Italian media reports all agree on one thing: everyone performed well for the first time this year.
The whole team was praised, with the likes of Hummels and Paredes emerging from the shadows following a prolonged period of watching the team play from the sidelines.
Il Messaggero, Corriere dello Sport and Corriere della Sera gave the highest grades to Manu Koné and Mile Svilar – both of whom proved crucial for Roma’s offensive and defensive set-up; Koné for fighting in the midfield and help Roma sustain Spurs’ pressure, Svilar for his endless saves which inspired confidence in Ranieri’s side.
