2016 Claudio Villa - Inter
Inter, Ranocchia ‘working like a dog’ to improve
That’s what he told Il Corriere della Sera in an interview published this morning by the Italian paper.
“I am working like a dog, not only on the pitch, but also off it. Sometimes everything goes well, some other time not. When hard times come there are two paths you can follow: you can either give up or carry on fighting.”
“In the last three months, I have been going to a centre where I get mental and physical support. There is a person a talk with, not a psychologist, but a mental training expert. I’ve understood that nothing is irreparable in life.”
“I still believe there is some sort of prejudice against me. Looks like I am the only one who has not won at Inter. Truth is, everyone has had hard times. In six years I saw over 100 players and several presidents and chiefs, this will change soon.”
“I was on good terms with Mancini. He used to talk to me a lot and left me free to join Samp when I wanted to get game time. He was happy when I returned last summer, but you could tell something had broken with the club. De Boer’s rules are very strict, but small things can make the difference.”
