coach experienced a nightmare return to Rome on Sunday, as his team went down 4-0 against a rampant side. Ranieri admitted it was a very poor performance from his side.

“We are not ourselves anymore, we concede too many goals,” he said toGazzetta.it. “From Tuesday we have to start reacting, because we can’t go on like this.

“Inter still have will to win, we have fallen many times and many times we picked ourselves up, I expect a reaction once again.”

It seems a long time ago that Inter won the Milan derby…

“Since then, we have perhaps lost some of our adrenaline charge,” Ranieri continued. “We have to understand what’s happened.

“At the start I wanted to face them with two strikers, but [Francesco] Totti was retreating, creating a numerical superiority in midfield. So I thought I would insert another midfielder to help [Esteban] Cambiasso and [Angelo] Palombo. Unfortunately today we just didn’t play.”

Founder of Socceranchor.com, I am a devoted Serie A and Roma supporter, who fell in love with the game at the age of just five, when Roberto Baggio excelled at the ’94 World Cup. Living in Australia and initially supporting Fiorentina, all roads led to Rome when star man Gabriel Batistuta made the switch, and I have not looked back since. Have worked for Goal.com and ESPNsoccernet over the past five years, whilst I spent a few months in the UK in 2010, working as an intern for the likes of ESPN, Sky Sports and The Guardian. Also had the amazing opportunity to report from the recent World Cup in South Africa – a life changing experience. Follow me on twitter: @adriandelmonte
