I'm still negative about Roma and will continue to be as well. Because as long as Mourinho continues to use the same old boring strategies there is no way this team are having a much better season than the last one. Currently it is like there is nothing changed for this team comparing to the previous season. They are still losing so many points and staying behind many big teams in the standings.
Obviously Roma need a substantial change in their game plan. They need to have a more attacking focused game rather than a cautious one.
I will not talk about Roma Serie A games before the break nor about their friendlies where they can test or play less seriously, but I will talk about their upcoming games in January, Roma will face Bologna, Milan, Fiorentina and Napoli. No one of these games should be underestimated. Milan and Napoli are the hardest one obviously but Fiorentina and Bologna are respectable teams that could surprise bigger ones.
Dunno how Mourinho prepared his team to face them but having bad results in all of them will make the whole situation very weird..
Well, to be honest, I don't see Mou as a bad technical director, I see him as the opposite, it should be noted that some games or the last games did not have Dybala, who is undoubtedly one of the players who makes the difference among all, his great injury affected him a lot, perhaps that is why Roma did not shine, however, he could say that Mou has something prepared for them, this tenuous director may seem from the old school and his methods may be orthodox, but he is very good, I consider him one of the best in the world, what happens is that his players have to follow everything he directs them very well.
In the match between Inter vs Napoli, Napoli did not score any goals after playing very well. However, Napoli played very well from the beginning to the end of the game. Neither team could score any goals before the halftime of the game. But after the halftime, Inter scored 1 goal and won the match. Inter did not perform very well in the match. I expected Napoli to win this match. But Napoli did not score any goals in this match so they lost the match.
Napoli Played very well, they also dominated the match, The opportunities that the Napoli players got were not put to good use, no goals were scored by the Napoli players throughout the match. Inter instead took advantage of the Napoli players stalemate, one goal from Inter was enough to stop Napoli winning streak of 15 matches.
This victory further strengthens Inter position in fourth place, now Simone Inzhagi team is three points ahead of Lazio who is in fifth place. The top four positions are back in the hands of the top teams, the competition will still continue because Lazio and Roma are still trying to get into the top four, especially since the difference in points with Inter and Juventus is not too far.
Well this is something as I have always said, it is useless to play very well and in the end lose, sometimes soccer is not about playing well or better than the rival, because if you win it is because you did something or everything better than him. rival or if in any case you win by luck it is because you were still better than the rival, sometimes we see football as deserved, and it is not like that, in football the one who scores the most goals wins or the goal necessary to win the victory these are the main premises, because that is what remains in the story, the score and not who played better and almost won.
Napoli cannot be neglected anymore, I understand that Inter is a great team, one of the best in Italy and they demonstrated their supremacy, but they can no longer afford to lose, because losing the advantage they have in Serie A would be a total loss pity.
Here is an important summary:
Inter Milan 1-0 Napoli: Match RecapIs this thing on? After a long break for the World Cup and the holidays, Inter Milan have taken the pitch to resume the 2022-23 Serie A season.
