In the top battle of Serie A, Roma was finally seized by Osimenne due to a mistake by Chris Smalling and scored the only goal of the game. After this victory, Napoli went on to lead Serie A with 29 points, three points ahead of second-placed AC Milan. Roma remain fifth with 22 points, just two points away from fourth-placed Atalanta and third-place Lazio.
Mourinho also said after the game that Napoli's performance was not worthy of a victory, to which Spalletti responded: "I don't want to discuss Mourinho or other people's comments, I just want to say my own analysis of the game. Napoli did a great job in this game, creating two or three chances and then taking one. Napoli didn't let Roma do what they were good at, which was defensive counter-attacks and set-pieces. ”
At the same time, Spalletti also praised the performance of South Korean international Kim Minya, "When danger is coming, Kim Minya can always judge in advance and quickly step up to control the situation." Kim is always paying attention to everything and everyone, and he can do this, not only because of his body, but also because of his brain. ”
"In this game, we conceded some possessions that we would not have lost in the past, but we did not concede the ball and kept a clean sheet. So, it's still thanks to Roma, to their attacking players. When asked by reporters what dreams Spalletti had in his pocket, Spalletti replied: "I have a cell phone, a piece of paper and a pen." ”
