Celik emerges as Ranieri’s preferred defensive player | OneFootball

Something has changed for Roma full-back Zeki Celik who is playing some of his best football nowadays.

Not only because of Claudio Ranieri’s growing confidence, but also because of the support of the fans, who gave him a standing ovation against Como.

As reported in Il Corriere della Sera, this is a fair recognition for his commitment and professionalism.

The Turkish full-back has shown that he possesses all the qualities that make coaches fall in love: seriousness, sacrifice and dedication. And the results are there to see.

After scoring a crucial goal against Porto, in the last match he provided the assist for Saelemaekers, before going off with a muscle problem.

Roma believe that the injury is not serious, but decisive tests will be carried out today to understand if he will be available against Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League.

His presence would be essential to guarantee greater defensive solidity and tranquility for the entire team.
