""We'll have to be good. When you play against man-to-man teams, you have to be very good at playing technically and playing behind the opponent. They're good and in good form, so we'll have to be alert.""
""He's in a good moment, more or less everyone is doing well. Of the midfielders, he's the one closest to Modric and gives him a little more freedom, so he can play deep with more confidence. At the moment, he's doing much better as a mezzala than as a regista in front of the defence.""
""Life is beautiful because it's made up of moments and combinations. Tonight we have a very difficult match, we'll try to get a positive result that would allow us to take a small step forward. Juve won, and they've regrouped at the back. We need to be very calm.""
A high-stakes Serie A match takes place at the Stadio Olimpico between Juventus and Roma with league positions tightly contested. Inter's recent 6-2 comeback and Juventus's 3-0 win over Napoli have intensified the title race. Milan's 20-game unbeaten league run remains notable and faces examination in the capital. Roma have not drawn any of their 29 games across all competitions, indicating aggressive tendencies. Juventus expect man-to-man pressing and plan to play technically, moving behind opponents and staying alert. Ricci is preferred in midfield to offer proximity to Modric and enable deeper, more confident mezzala play. Calmness is required to secure a positive result.
