Roma had previously defeated Napoli in the home match of the seventeenth round of the Italian Serie A.
Roma - Napoli 2:0 Video of the goal and review of the Serie A match Head coach of the Wolves, Jose Mourinho, commented on the performances on the football field after the end of the game.
“It’s a pity that the rest of the game before Christmas is affecting the mood of the players and coaches. I talked to the boys about this, we were obliged to work for this holy happiness and for our patients.
We were able to get involved on the level we wanted, but it was very difficult, you may not be good enough, but after five weeks I realized that we could overcome.
Roma played very well 11 to 11, had two incredible moments on the surface and controlled the team against the team for the entire hour, which is so good for us.
Working tens of times, we scored a goal and got the most out of the situation, including our changes and the way our leaders interpreted the game. I think that we deserve everything we can.
Today we were trying to achieve high pressure, and for which we need Paredes, Cristante and Beauvais, so Eduardo steadily bites his superniks on the ankles, rushes forward and crushes the same elbow to grab deeper. The wine is not so fluid, but it may not be too flamboyant.
We wanted to lose Belotti and Lukaku in order to have more physical strength, a more direct approach in the attack against the two central defenders of Napoli.
Since we were already playing against tens, the Pellegrines and El-Shaarawis showed creativity, knowing that we needed their technology in this situation.
After a long period of training and a trainer, who, perhaps, will be ready for them, I trained the Gravians, who were more ready for the battle. However, having won more duels, Llorente had a lot of problems against Zirkze, and in the same year with Ozimgen, he won a lot of individual fights. Gianluca Mancini didn’t train all day, because he was more interested in his work, but he still played for the team. Vin is a champion.
I respect you to set your own goals better, and to play from one game to another.. There is a very simple reason for this. This is not criticism, no one is to blame, but we have a group of graves with a complex medical history. Once we are all ready, I will say without any problems that we can fight for everything - not for the Scudetto, obviously, but for the fourth place for sure.
Unfortunately, we still have difficulties.
There is also a situation with financial fair play, which is important to fight. That's why I don't like talking about goals. We are a group of boys who are always trying to help one another.
Those that we want to earn money in today's transfer market are not what we would really like to earn, but let's move forward. Marvel at what you see. We won against Napoli, and then Juventus checks us,” said the Portuguese footballer.
In the upcoming match, Roma will host Juventus in Turin.
