Napoli failed to beat the 10 of AS Roma. They were disappointed with the game results. Roma did their best to tied the game to a 1-1 draw. The away team was issued a red card in the 78th minutes of play time and it's wasn't a good sign for them. AS Roma Boss, Jose Mourinho with his lengthy experience in football and big teams he has managed over the years, immediately change the formation of his team, playing a defensive game in other not to concede more goals, because the pressure Napoli was bringing was becoming too much for them. Perhaps El Shaarawy struggle to make a remarkable goal at extra time of the stoppage time. It was a big celebration for the away team who draw points with Napoli in the game.
the Mou strategy isn't effective, seems too defensive after getting the red card. In normal times, Napoli also doesn't have a chance to move the attacker in front. The ball position is really balanced for each other, but this result makes Napoli's position dangerous, it could be beaten by Juventus and Roma also, despite the different points is too far from the 5th position, but who knows, everything change can happen in future.
The red card does not change anything in the game as it was given to players who are not on pitch. Mou's strategy works well if we look at the final result as they managed to get 1 point. Overall statistic does not show that Mou used a defensive strategy as well because they managed to control the game better than Napoli. This result is basically a benefit for Juventus as their position is between Napoli and Roma. Juventus has a chance to take the 3rd position Napoli by the end of the season if Napoli lose another 2 matches while Juventus win all the remaining matches.
The draw is indeed in favor of Roma, because Roma played away and also got a red card, but still can get one point. If we look at the match statistics,
I agree that Roma did not play too defensively, apart from having superior ball possession, Roma also shoots not much different from Napoli. So it can
be said that Mourinho's strategy was quite successful to get points against Napoli. It can't be said where the result of the Napoli vs Roma tie is in
favor of Juventus, because Juventus also failed to win against Bologna. This means that the difference in points between Juventus, Roma and Napoli has
not changed, unless Juventus manages to beat Bologna, it can be said to be in favor of Juventus. The conclusion is that the Serie A competition is
getting more and more interesting where 5 more matches are left, it is still a bit difficult to predict who will win the Serie A trophy, and also
the competition for being in the top 6 is also interesting to follow.
