Roma’s coach Claudio Ranieri admitted that he didn’t want to include Paulo Dybala in the starting lineup for the 24th round match of the Italian championship against ‘Venezia’ (1:0).
Paulo Dybala, Getty Images‘Venezia’ always won or lost here by a margin of one goal, we knew it would be hard. We knew everything, I asked the guys to give their all on the field. I wanted to see them today against such a tough team that won’t yield until the end, and I’m satisfied with the response.
I really didn’t want Dybala to play, but he told me: ‘I want to play’. I didn’t want to risk him’,” quoted Ranieri by Roma Press.
Additionally, Paulo converted a penalty at the beginning of the second half, scoring his sixth goal in this Serie A season.
