Roma won the Rome derby against Lazio 2-0 thanks to a brace from Gianluca Mancini.
The Giallorossi overtook Juventus and now sit in fourth place, according to Ryan Friedkin, the club’s vice president.
The club’s owners returned to the capital to show their support for the team, which responded favorably in the derby.
The Giallorossi vice president took the bus from Trigoria with the players, but before the match, as reported by Corriere dello Sport, he also gave a long and heartfelt speech to the team in the locker room.
Before the start of the derby against Lazio, Ryan Friedkin asked the players to give their all, confident they would do so, but above all, he expressed the ownership’s confidence in the team.
Regardless of the outcome of the derby, Roma’s vice president told the players that the club was proud of the journey they’ve made, of everything they’ve achieved together, overcoming difficult times.
As is only natural, especially after the Grugliasco coach’s repeated requests, both he and the team appreciated Ryan Friedkin’s speech.
The final stage for returning to the Champions League is Verona.
