RANKING – REPORT CARDS
It’s a José Mourinho The one who commented at the end of the match on his Roma’s success over Napoli was definitely satisfied: “The last match before Christmas changes the Christmas of coaches and players a bit, this is a bit of our happiness, we managed to stay close to where we want to be, with great difficulty, with many high level competitions in this period, but my feeling after five minutes was that we would have won, we played a great match – he explains – We created two great scoring opportunities in the first half and we were always in control of the game against a technically stronger team, then with them with 10 men we had an advantage and we took advantage of it, the victory was deserved.”
“Fourth place? Without injuries that would be our goal”
Roma started very well with great intensity: “We interpreted the match to put high pressure on them and with Bove both when he had to press Lobotka and when he had to drop into the 3-5-2 – says Mourinho – We decided to play with two strikers physically strong to worry the Napoli centre-backs and then with an extra man creativity came in with Azmoun and Pellegrini.” This evening there was also defensive solidity: “I’m also happy for the defense after a week of hard work, Ndicka won all the duels, Mancini didn’t train but he’s a champion because he took to the pitch anyway.” A Roma that brings the Champions League goal closer: “If we were all in good shape I would have no problem saying we can get to fourth placebut we have a complicated medical history, which is why I don’t like to talk about a precise objective, we are united, this is a group that tries to do its best and help each other.”
