Ranieri later said, “We’re not going through a good patch, otherwise they wouldn’t have called me.
“We had to respond after the second half against Como, and the boys showed determination and a desire to go out and win. The guys have quality, but if you only have quality, you don’t do great things in football.
"There must be quality, but also a sense of belonging and a competitive edge.
“We didn’t play or run as a team against Como, and we made a terrible impression.”
