Claudio Ranieri spoke to DAZN after Roma’s 1-0 win over Athletic Club Bilbao.

In his post-match interview, Ranieri discussed Artem Dovbyk’s winning goal.

“He needs affection and understanding and we are giving it to him,” he said.

“I am encouraging him, the striker lives for the goal but I told him that it must not be like that because it also takes a spirited performance, of will and determination.”

“You have to be in the right place at the right time. It was important that he unlocked himself and put in a performance like that for the team.
