This Sunday he has in front of him the difficult challenge of visiting the Rome of Jose Mourinhoand despite not locking up a good fight, it was enough for him with a goal from Victor Osimen to take the three points Olympics Roman (0-1).

It seems that the ‘giallorossi’ team can stop a Naples thick with ideas that decided in his favor in a deadly counter. The wall is up Mourinho ended up falling a few minutes from the end, allowing the ‘azzurri’ to extend their massive streak: have now won seven in a row in Serie A, where we should add another four to the Champions League. Amazing.

iron defenses of Rome

It’s definitely not the smartest squad game Spallettiespecially because the Rome knows how to handcuff Naples with a defensive framework branded by Mourinho. Thus, it is difficult to create danger in those areas and scoring opportunities are conspicuous by their absence.

Controversy arose before the break when the referee penalized a fall of Ndombele within the Roman areabut VAR intervened to determine that Rui Patrício had grazed the ball before running at the Napoli midfielder.

The second half was more of the same, with Roma unable to finish between the three posts and with Napoli not wasting the only opportunity to hurt Mou’s team.

It was in a backlash where Osimhen he won the game Smalling and lose Rui Patricio with a powerful shot at the long post (80′). Great goal and three more points for him undisputed leader of Serie A.
