Roma played at home against Napoli, Mourinho sat and waited for the arrival of his good friend Spalletti, after the pleasantries, a warm hospitality was essential, but when it came to the playing field, the two sides were their own masters, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks took turns, did not give in to each other, and once fought inseparably. Only in the end, Smalling's horse legs were a step slower, and Roma was one move short of being bullied 1-0 away from Napoli.
Roma lost is not news, especially to a proud Napoli team, and it is not a big deal because of their strength. It's just that when you can not lose or even win, losing is somewhat unrelieving.
This round of home against old friends, Mourinho has used his brain, although he has to base himself on defense and wait for the opportunity to fight the opponent's counterattack, but from the perspective of the arrangement of the coach, he still wants to win. Kamala replacing Nemanja Matic is a brilliant move, and the last game Kamara came off the bench very well, and this one can finally start, which is a lot of hope for Mourinho. And this substitution did play the effect that Uncle Bird wanted, being able to run and prevent energy transmission organizations, it can be said that Kamara completely did what Matic could not do, especially the speed of Kamara, which made Matic unmatched.
As soon as the referee's whistle sounded, Roma resolutely implemented Mourinho's strategic intention to grab the game, although Napoli also wanted to open the game against the away, but finally suppressed by Mourinho's immediate scheduling, it can be said that Roma still has opportunities in the first half, whether it is Abraham or Zaniolo, there are good opportunities to break the goal, or it is wasted as always.
Instead, a save by Patricio gave Roma fans at home a cold sweat. Madman's former Tottenham disciple Ndombele performed a technical dance in the Roma penalty area and Patricio saved the ball and brought down Ndombele as well. So the referee resolutely gave a penalty, seeing that Roma was about to suffer at home, thanks to VAR insight, the referee then canceled the penalty, and Roma escaped.
As the saying goes, if you can hide past the first day of junior high school, you can't hide from fifteen. If you can't grasp the opportunity, sooner or later you will be devoured. So, we saw Napoli's counter-attack, and Osmein, who missed a one-handed chance, finally got his wish, and it was Chris Smalling's goal. In the 80th minute, Napoli counterattacked in front, a pass instantly tore through Roma's defense, leaving only the elderly Chris Smalling and Osmeen struggling, but I don't know that at this moment Uncle S' oil is not enough, the most stable link that has been exhausted has an instant mistake, and it is this only mistake that the gates of Rome are broken. Although this ball Chris Smalling is mainly responsible, who can bear to blame such a fixed needle that has repeatedly turned the tide in times of danger in Rome. If anyone is to blame for this ending, it can only be attributed to the difference in strength between the two teams.
Trailing 0-1 at home, the unwilling Mourinho still used all his strength, constantly mobilizing troops to try to save the defeat, Sharaoui, Shomurodov and others played one after another, but they still lacked the ability to break the goal and were powerless. An interesting episode added a little fun to the game, when Jose Mourinho and Spalletti each got a yellow card to play a draw.
The game at Roma will not be easy, and Mourinho's magic is still a long way off, but "the power of the louse must be close, and the power of the whale must be strong." "If Rome wants to defeat a strong enemy, it also needs to fight hard and constantly improve its own strength.
