It's very disappointing, I think, because I thought it wouldn't be difficult for AS Roma to win at home in the match against Monza. But yes, in reality AS Roma really couldn't maximize the opportunities they had properly because after all, Monza only played with 10 players. So yes, AS Roma should be able to win more easily when playing against a team that only plays with 10 players. But in fact AS Roma could not win easily, fortunately El Shaarawy came on as a substitute also in the second half. Although it took until near the end of the match, but El Shaarawy managed to score a goal to make AS Roma get three points at home.

Indeed it was so painful to watch Roma against Monza today.    They did their best not to take advantage of Monza's getting that red card. Mourinho also got a red card right before the end of the game. It was a really difficult game for Roma that's for sure. They made it this hard for themselves of course.

Maybe they are on a 3-win streak now but I still can't believe in them completely. I thought about it a lot before adding it to my parlay.

Mourinho has a really difficult task to perform with a performance like this in this season.

This is what yes, it is very painful, sometimes I don't know what to think, I know that Italian football is one of the most beautiful in the world, it fascinates me, everything started to get out of control with Juve when those big ones started punishments for the team, since last season they have undergone many sanctions and in fact when it comes to sanctions, it was because of the executives and directors of Juve, something that I never agreed that they sanctioned the entire team by doing, They would lose those 14 points, which seemed very unfair to me, then the issue that UEFA imposed on them that they could not play other competitions, only Serie A, which seems too demanding to me, I thought that UEFA are very strict, but still , they are sanctioning those who shouldn't, so I thought that now things were more complicated but that nevertheless they can do well from what can be seen, I am one of those who think that things in Football are corrupt and that they still they continue like this.

For me, a player who is always involved in betting events is normal, the bad thing is that they go to a place that is a fiasco, where it turns out to be illegal, which I don't agree with, for me things can happen in different ways, first that the question with everything that has to do with the players is something else, perhaps their private life? but in the same way that rebounds directly on the team, something that seems very difficult and hard at the same time, what I might think about these players is that they are not satisfied with their salary, it is sad, because even so in the Italinano teams they are not salaries like those of PSG or in La Liga like Madrid and they have to Resort to sites like these to be able to increase their money, or they simply do it because they want to be daring and put into another type of fun, but I don't agree with the Everything , a player cannot put his future in danger, much less his career.

Though Napoli was able to win this match in the end, but I have to say the defense could have been better from Napoli. If Verona could have finished better in this match, there could have been problems for this Napoli team.

On the other hand, I have to say Osimhen being injured and not being available for this match has certainly made this team find another player on whom they can actually rely upon. Kvaratskhelia was able to score 2 goals in this match. That is certainly good science for Napoli going forward in this season.

Next week there will be Inter vs Roma, usually a very fascinating match, unfortunately José Mourinho will be absent because he was sent off today, perhaps for protests! I didn't understand unfortunately. If Roma shows up in Milan in this form they will hardly be able to get the points against Inter. we'll see how the week evolves, most likely I won't focus on this big match

I really didn't like Roma today. I bet on their win against Monza home however their performance wasn't convincing at all. Until the red card they couldn't make me excited much. After the red card I hoped to see a way better effort in the second half but that wasn't the case. Roma had even less xG in that half. 

While I was about to lose my hopes about them completely El Shaarawy brought his team to life by scoring in the 90th minute. I'm really happy that my bet won but this just can't be acceptable for Roma. They should have been more effective. Their next league match is against Inter which is going to be even more challenging.

the championship is long and there can be many pitfalls! therefore Napoli like all the other teams must remain with their feet on the ground! Osimhen will definitely leave but who knows if he will leave next summer or when the contract ends! we'll see.


meanwhile thanks to el sharaawy I closed all bets, Roma made me sweat until the end of the match

@Lillominato89 I’m surprised that Napoli won and while this will definitely lift up their spirits but I feel that the player’s should remain grounded as it’s a long season ahead and they need to constantly perform if they wish to secure a top 4 spot for themselves. Lastly Victor has single handedly won them many game’s but the poor treatment that they gave him has effected his confidence and now it’s best for both parties that he moves on to a new club.

Obviously! Osimhen is important for Napoli but he must not be indispensable to win matches, but in direct clashes between top teams his presence will make the difference or at least we hope so, next week at the Maradona stadium there will be Napoli Milan, we still don't know whether Osimhen will be present or not, but in case of absence we could evaluate whether Napoli still has the strength to beat a big team without their best striker

The fact that Napoli is able to win and score goals without Osimhen is a very positive thing. It means that it doesn`t depend solely and exclusively on the Nigerian attacker.

Dependence on just one player is never a good or wise thing, even if the player loves the team (he could get injured)

as I have already said in previous posts, Verona does not have the strength to be able to beat a big team at the moment, and today it showed again. My doubts were rather about the play expressed by Napoli in the last few matches which was really poor, plus Osimhen was missing, all of which made me think about changing my mind about the bet, but then I confirmed my bet slip and so far I have got the results right Napoli and Inter, tomorrow I hope Roma don't play any tricks. As for Napoli, the next match will be against Milan and we will see if without their best player they will be able to beat a big team

Napoli can perform well without osimhen in some matches, but in some, like big matches, I don't think Napoli can win the game without a good striker player like osimhen. Verona is just a small team in the serie A league, and the team performance can not give anyone enough reason to believe that they can defeat Napoli. If I'm lying, have you seen a huge game when Napoli beat a big team without Victor Osimhen? Napoli cannot play a big game without Napoli. I'm not claiming that Osimhen will make the squad's performance appear excellent, but a team is not complete without a competent striker.

I've heard that the president of Napoli will talk to Osimhen about renewing his contract with the team next week, but I don't think that will happen because of how I've observed Osimhen to act. Instead, he will want to leave the team and join another team in order to play with them and win more trophies. I don't see anything wrong with Osimhen's decision because he is a striker player and should switch teams.

Verona vs Napoli, as I'm writing the score is 1-3 with goals from Politano and a brace from Kvaraskhelia for Napoli and Lazovic for Verona. My doubts did not come true, despite the absence of Osimhen, Napoli played a really good match full of action, unfortunately Verona continues to lose and is a candidate for a potential relegation team to Serie B

it seems that during the summer Napoli and Osimhen had reached an agreement for the renewal of the Nigerian striker's contract. But apparently Osimhen has now had second thoughts. Here is an excerpt from the interview with De Laurentiis, president of Napoli

I have heard other bad news for Napoli fans, maybe you are right. I read that Victor is very angry and that he wants to change teams. A lot of teams want him so I dont think it will be difficult for him to find a team that will take him.
I hope you are right

in my opinion Roma are clearly recovering, they have achieved some excellent performances in the last few games and playing at home can be a decisive advantage, the absences will certainly have an impact but they still have an excellent team, I am sure they will win. instead Napoli makes me more doubtful, the whole team seems to want to row against their coach.


It's unlikely that Napoli will let their best player escape on a free transfer in 2 years, they will reach an agreement this season, or at least I hope so for them, if they don't reach an agreement then I believe that Osimhen will leave next summer, and Napoli will collect a nice fortune from its sale


Unfortunately in Italy these events often happen, people who are already rich are fooled into making easy money by committing crimes that are very harmful to Italian football. I hope that justice takes its course as it should, hoping that there are no other hidden scandals

There were rumours before like Napoli were close to signing a contract extension with Osimhen. However there is still no agreement made between the sides. His contract still finishes in less than 2 years so this is likely to be a problem for Napoli as of next summer.

Because I think Osimhen might not want to extend his contract if Napoli have a bad season. The Rudi Garcia period isn't going on very well for now but the season is long of course. If Napoli don't manage to convince Osimhen for a new contract until next summer then I guess they would be open for offers on one hand. The amount they demand would be quite a fortune for sure. 

I have the same betting slip as the picture you provided but not for Roma because even though Roma is playing at home I still have a little doubt that they can beat Monza whereas in the history of Head To Head statistics these two clubs competed in their last match with a draw and on one side Roma It seems like its performance isn't really stable yet so I didn't enter the match on my betting slip.
But I also have a little doubt about the Napoli match even though I bet on the club, the recent bad times make me a little doubtful because there are lots of rumors about Osimhen who no longer has enthusiasm at Napoli while this club really needs Osimhen to be able to win the match and hopefully my thinking was wrong.

Zaniolo is said to not have been a part of this illegal betting scandal. But I really don't know what to believe these days.

Besides even if he hasn't done that it doesn't change the fact that this scandal is real for many Italian players. It is like there is no escape from this kind of scandals in Italy. This kind of things happened in this country quite many times in history. Now I wonder how these players will be punished. As far as I know Pogba has already got a ban of 4 years due to doping.

I hope one day corruption ends in football but it is too much I ask I guess. 

yes you are right! I believe that by nature I am pessimistic, and you are right to say that the worst year for Italian football was 2006, the year of the Calciopoli scandal! but so much time has passed that I had almost forgotten about that terrible period in Serie A. But I am of the opinion that that rottenness still rules Italian football, I don't think that nobody was there to put Moggi and Company out of action who took their place. The business that makes football go round is full of sharks and truly vile people
