Carry on as if nothing happened – Ranieri

(GSM) – Claudio Ranieri was shocked after Roma’s title chances were seriously dented by Sampdoria. After the match, the tactician said they “must carry on as if nothing has happened.”

The Giallorossi lost the leadership after home defeat (1-2) and now trail Internazionale by two points.

“If we had drawn this match then it would’ve been the same thing. We were in charge of our own destiny and now we aren’t,” confessed Ranieri.

“We must carry on as if nothing has happened. We had probably our best first half performance since I’ve been here.

“Unfortunately we did not remain as solid after the break and Samp took advantage. I tried to create a few more crosses for Luca Toni, but we couldn’t find the goal.”

The run-in now sees Inter face Lazio at the Olimpico, Chievo at San Siro and finally practically relegated Siena away from home.

Roma travel to Parma, welcome Cagliari and end the season at the Bentegodi with Chievo.

“I don’t know where Inter are likely to drop points. All I know is that we must give our all. The sad fact is our fate is no longer in our hands,” added Ranieri.

“The Scudetto will be decided in the final round. We have fallen and must get back on our feet. Luck was on our side in the derby, but not tonight.

“We certainly need to end the season well. Inter are strong, so compliments go to them and to Roma for an impressive campaign.”
