The head coach of Italian “Roma” Claudio Ranieri is pleased that the Ukrainian forward of his team Artem Dovbik scored a double in yesterday’s match against “Sampdoria” (4:1) in the 1/8 finals of the Coppa Italia.
Claudio Ranieri“I am pleased with Dovbik's two goals, now he will work with a completely different mood and with a higher self-esteem. As you can see, the playing time I am giving him is also gradually increasing. Now Dovbik is training at full capacity, and that’s great, but it’s still difficult for him to play a full match every three days.
Goals always help to regain confidence. And when a forward is confident in himself, it’s important for the whole team.
I hope Dovbik will now flourish. Recently, he has not been training as well as I would like. He has faced thousands of problems — the flu, a knee issue, and more. Dovbik has a powerful body structure, and he must constantly maintain it. Long breaks are detrimental to his physical condition,” said Ranieri during a conversation with the media and the broadcaster after the match with “Sampdoria”.
