Cristante’s rebirth under Claudio Ranieri | OneFootball

Claudio Ranieri has found the cure for Bryan Cristante.

The midfielder, who recently reached 300 appearances for the Giallorossi, could now surpass Di Bartolomei, who stands at 314.

As reported by Il Messaggero, Cristante has had a difficult time after Daniele De Rossi was sacked, ending up in the crosshairs of criticism.

In January he seemed close to leaving, with Fiorentina among the most interested clubs, and a transfer in the summer cannot be ruled out.

But in recent weeks, the former Atalanta player has turned the whistles into applause, returning to be a key player in the Roma midfield.

On Thursday, in the Europa League, he will lead the team against Athletic Club in the absence of Paredes, suspended.

Koné, another key element of Ranieri’s midfield, should be alongside him.
