Correct. We cannot immediately make a final judgment just from looking at 1 or 2 matches played by Roma's current new coach, De Rossi. It's just that De Rossi only has a short contract at Roma. So he was encouraged to adapt and adjust more quickly to the Roma club. So I personally hope we can see positive results in the next few matches.

Tomorrow AS Roma also has a friendly match with one of the clubs from the SPL. And I think it could be a good opportunity for De Rossi to try some new formations for AS Roma in the friendly match. Because there are no risks taken in friendly matches. So that in the next Serie A match, AS Roma will be better prepared with a new strategy from their new coach. And fortunately the next opponent in Serie A is Salernitana. So De Rossi must be able to make AS Roma win in this match. Because if not, I'm sure there will be a lot of criticism.

I'm sure he will do his best for Rome, but it must be said that he does not have enough experience. Coaching is a difficult profession. The responsibility of the players is on them and you will try to use a player in the best possible way. De Rossi must work hard if he wants to be better than Mourinho. Mourinho is a coach who has won every European cup in his career. When it comes to its place, you expect errors to be fewer.

Roma management has set a target for De Rossi to be able to finish in the top 4 of the final Serie A standings so that they can qualify for the Champions League next season, I think that is a little difficult because currently the competition for the top teams in Serie A is quite fierce, plus De Rossi is not an experienced coach to be able to revive Roma's performance, which has slumped slightly this season.
Of course, if this target is not achieved, it is very likely that De Rossi will be replaced again and I am sure that will happen, considering that De Rossi is not an experienced coach and in my opinion he does not have the capacity to coach a team as big as Roma.

Currently, AS Roma has 32 points, 2 points less than Fiorentina, the team ranked 4th on the rankings. The opportunity for the team to raise hopes of participating in the Champions League has been lit.
AS Roma choosing De Rossi is like a gamble because his coaching career up to this point has not had many outstanding achievements. Serie B fans will surely remember De Rossi's rather disastrous time leading SPAL. Of course, we cannot ask De Rossi to immediately change an entire team in just a few days especially when placing high expectations on him when the team is in poor form. De Rossi needs time, even a lot of time. Fortunately, upcoming opponents Salernitana and Cagliari are also in the bottom group, and that is an opportunity for De Rossi to get to know his team's players. It will create a great premise before facing a solid team like Inter Milan.

If he can achieve this, he deserves to get a longer contract with Roma like 1 or 2 years. It will be a happy contract for him, to manage a club he played through his long player career. However, it is very risky to put belief in young coaches because they can succeed in one season but usually fail in next one or two seasons. Very few young coaches can actually grow their career smoothly but I hope De Rossi will succeed with his mission in next months of this season for Roma.

True. He had a good beginning with Roma but will have to face with lot of pressure in coming matches and months. It is very soon to judge his work after only one match.

He was given a good chance but it will also be his very big challenge. Let's see how he will deal with it because taking this job to help his club does not mean he will get sympathy if the club has bad results from his coach management.

If De Rossi 6 months coaching took Roma to the lime light, and they were able to finish among top four this season, then maybe Roma might decide to keep him to see if he will do better next season. If he is a coach that can study the players very fast, then it will be of a help to him, but if he is the slow type, it will be difficult for him to adapt fast. De Rossi should try and come up with a play pattern that will be able to withstand the strong clubs, so that he will be able to use that as an advantage, if not, it will be difficult for Roma to challenge these clubs. Let's see what he has for the club during this time in Roma. If he is loved by the players, it will be easy for him.

For better or for worse I always say, we'll have to see how it goes in a few months
we can't judge his work from 1 or 2 games
he certainly didn't do very well with SPAL but he's young and can gain good experience, so we'll just see how it goes
I think he has a good chance

I don't know why Mourinho was fired either, as they needed just six points to finish in the top four before sacking him. I believe that Mourinho may have had another misunderstanding with the club's managements, i don't think is because of their current form, firing him is a wrong decision to me, since I didn't notice any improvements in the last game they played against Verona. Milan Djuric of Verona missed the penalty that was given to them in the 66th minute of play because he overhit the ball, Roma almost lost all three points to draw the match. If Mourinoh is the reason behind their current performance, we can see it in their next.


Given that Milan's performance has improved over the last few weeks, I was almost ready to give up on them to win because they lost at home on their first meet. After Udinese scored the second goal, I didn't think Milan would win again because they can disappoint at any time. Ac Milan has managed to stay strong in the third place of the league standings, their comeback in that game really shocked me. Udinese's play is becoming worse, and if they keep dropping points, they will end themselves back in the relegation zone.

To be honest, I didn't watch the final of this super cup and only bet on Inter winning. But after looking at the existing statistics it is enough to prove that Napoli lost more of the ball and here Inter really dominated the game. The red card that Simione received added to the bad results faced by Napoli and with the advantage of players that Inter had, they were finally able to score a goal through Lautaro Martinez.

Of course, this is a satisfying result for Inter because they benefited quite a bit from the red card and Napoli can't do anything with their current performance. I think it's time for them to just focus on Serie A because even if they can win this title it won't be enough to make them better to get a more worthy place at the end of the season.

Yeah you are right because Juventus will never be very comfortable staying on that first position they are now because they can easily be blown away by Inter Milan because just like you said if inter Milan eventually wins there next match they automatically regain back there first position, so perhaps I no that Juventus prayer now will be that inter Milan should lose there next match so that they could be very comfortable by leading the league because that's the opportunity they have been looking for since inter Milan has been leading the league table.

However I doubt if the prayer of Juventus will come to pass because inter Milan is one of the brightest club in the league and since the league started they have not really recorded much losing and however since there next match against Fiorentina will be the determining factor if they can regain there first position or not, so they will make sure to put in all possible best to win them, although considering there performance that match may not be too tough on them because whichever way we reason it there is no way we can compare Fiorentina with inter Milan this season because is very obvious that inter Milan is the best, so perhaps there chances of regaining back there first position is high.

I dont think Roma should put a significant target for De Rossi to achieve. The limited timeframe of 6 months does present a significant challenge for De Rossi to fully showcase his coaching abilities and make substantial changes to the team's playing strategy. Adapting to a new role as a coach and implementing changes within such a short period, especially against strong opponents like Inter Milan, can indeed be a daunting task.

A clear and effective playing strategy is crucial for a team's success, and if implemented successfully, it could contribute to Roma's improvement in the long term. De Rossi may need to consider a complete overhaul of Roma's playing strategy demonstrates an awareness of the need for bold and decisive actions to bring about positive changes. Transfers can be pivotal in shaping the team according to the coach's vision. Utilizing the transfer window to bring in quality players aligns with the idea that strengthening the squad with strategic signings can have a significant impact on the team's performance. But I doubt De Rossi will have previllege to sign any player he wants to execute his plan, remembering Mourinho faced that isssue in the past.

I didn't watch the whole match, but I thought Inter played better than Napoli and the result of this game is fair... Inter's shot statistics are much better... Perhaps if Napoli had not received a red card, they could have equalised, but still Inter have no rivals in Italy this season...

De Rossi was appointed by Roma management to replace Jose Mourinho, until his contract expired for 6 months. In my opinion, it is very difficult and not easy for De Rossi to show his abilities with Roma if he only has 6 months, it seems like a coach needs quite a long time to develop and adapt to his squad. Especially against Inter Milan, whose performance is currently showing well, it will be very difficult to match their game in a situation like this. Maybe De Rossi should completely overhaul Roma's entire playing strategy with his commitment to be even better in the future. Not only that, De Rossi and management must be able to take advantage of the transfer moment to choose really good players for their squad so that they can bring victory to Roma and not be in vain later.

Sometimes a team that changes coaches in the middle of the season will get good results in the first match because that is what happened with Napoli when Mazzari replaced Rudi Garcia but slowly they are facing difficulty after difficulty and it seems that nothing has changed for Napoli, as well as Roma, this is like a good start and was sweet but slowly Roma will face even greater difficulties and I don't mean to demean De Rossi but soon he will receive sharp criticism because Roma is not experiencing the changes as expected.
De Rossi's real test was when he competed in the playoff round 16 of the European Cup and when he faced Inter Milan.

Roma will face Salernitana in the next match and there is no doubt they will be able to win even though my prediction is that there might be a surprise where Salernitana manages to hold Roma to a draw, because they almost held Napoli to a draw if they can be more disciplined in stoppage time which allows Napoli to score a goal for got 3 points.

At the start of this match I was expecting a good and easy win for the Inter Milan but Napoli done good resistance and not allowed them to score any goal but sadly unable to stop Martinez to score goal into injury time which give them Super Cup in this season while Napoli were playing most of the second half with ten men but still done good resistance and give their best for having better result, but things are not going into their favour which is surely big setback for them in this season.

Now with this performance look like they could be not able to secure any spot into top six of the league table now after this defeat they are going to face Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico Rome on 28th January which could be another disastrous match for them, and they have to stay at the 9th spot for some more time.

From the beginning of the match, Inter Milan have been playing well, especially in defence and attack. It's just that they didn’t have their goal yet, but even though we know that Napoli is also a big team that won the previous trophy, their performances have been going down, which is just the reason why Inter Milan has the opportunity to win the match. The hottest part of the game is how Napoli find it very hard to break the defence of Inter Milan to the extent that they were only able to have a single short on target. That is a very disgusting performance.

Although that is what is called a game, you can never tell, Napoli’s performance was very poor, to be sincere, and Inter Milan were stronger than them and were able to score their winning goal in the extra minutes. A good congratulations to the victorious team that image as the winners of the trophy, which is Inter Milan. They played well, no doubt, and they were very strong also. Napoli just have to work on themselves and their performance before the next season in order to be victorious in the next season.

This is not a major competition in Italy because if i am not mistaken previously Super Coppa only played between the champion of Serie A against Coppa Italy champion but this season is quite different because this tournament is filled with 4 teams and about the final match yesterday although this match is not too important for them but they looks serious because whether it Inter Milan or Napoli were played used their key players and actually at the beginning of match both teams can playing attacking each other even Napoli has several times to gets the opportunities to scores and one of them is from Kvaratskhelia

But indeed the red card is really have affect to Napoli performance because since that incident Napoli was playing with under pressure but dramatically Inter Milan can able to being an the winner of this match after Martínez scored at the end of second half and this was Inter Milan's third consecutive title under Inzaghi and total they had 8 trophies from this competition second most after Juventus

I think Roma management has made a very hasty decision. Jose Mourinho's dismissal was really inappropriate because if we look at the condition of the squad and the schedule of big matches nearby, it is natural that Roma achieved less than optimal results some time ago. But the decision has been made and now Roma is in charge of De Rossi. The former Roma player was indeed successful in getting through the first match with a win, but I am pessimistic that he will be able to bring the Wolves team into the top four zone. And the season is still very long, let's see the progress of the Giallorossi with Danielle.

But actually, even if Osimhen is not absent, I don't think the result of the match will change much. Because even though Osimhen was the best player at Napoli last season, his performance this season is still not as good as last season. The decline in Napoli's performance was clearly visible after Napoli changed coaching. And when Napoli were still coached by Garcia at the start of the season, maybe everything still looked normal. But then Garcia started to lose control and Napoli got worse and made Garcia replaced by Mazzarri. And Napoli actually didn't change when Mazzari arrived. Even though Napoli managed to beat Salernitana and Fiorentina, it was still not a significant improvement. It's just that I'm starting to feel that Napoli can no longer rely on Osimhen. I'm starting to feel like this team is starting to prepare if one day OSimhen leaves Napoli. So Mazzarri seems to be starting to create the right formation even without Osimhen. And yes, in the match against Inter Milan in the final, Napoli could defend well. But it was very unpleasant to see them continue to be pressured by Inter Milan. This is like watching an Inter Milan match vs an ordinary team. But yes, we should appreciate Napoli's performance in not conceding quickly after they played with only 10 players.

 Inter Milan deserved to win the title. But I'm also starting to feel that Napoli might improve before the UCL starts. Because Mazzarri seems to be starting to understand the Napoli squad well. he just needed to find a solution to Napoli's blunt attack line when facing a strong team. Because Napoli must prepare to face Barcelona in the round of 16 in the UCL at the end of February.

The red card was indeed the end for Napoli in this match which allowed Inter Milan to completely control the match. But Napoli should be appreciated because they were able to maintain the match so that it remained 0-0 until the 90th minute. However, unfortunately Inter Milan was able to penetrate Napoli's defense in the 90+1 minute and scored 1 goal by Martinez.

And I actually already suspected that Napoli would suffer defeat in that match. Because at the moment Napoli are even playing without OSimhen because Osimhen has to be absent from playing for the Nigerian national team in the African Cup. So Inter Milan also benefited in this match. Because we know that Napoli sometimes relies heavily on Osimhen like last season. So when Osimhen is absent the front line always experiences a decline in performance and becomes less sharp.

Congratulations to Inter Milan for winning the Supercoppa Italiana title.
