The head coach of Roman Roma, Claudio Ranieri, spoke about the match with Napoli (0:1) in the 13th round of the Italian Serie A. His words are quoted by Football Italia.

“Looking back, we have some problems and that’s why I was called up. We were up against a team fighting for the Scudetto.

I am satisfied with the performance of my players. We made a few mistakes, which we will talk about in the week, but the hunger and determination to get back to the previous level was evident. We still have a lot of work to do, but I am positive.

The challenge was to have more possession, which we did in the second half, and not allow Napoli to create so many chances with diagonal passes.

We saw Lukaku sometimes being followed by two of our defenders, leaving Kvaratschelia unattended. He missed one chance, finding himself all alone in the first minute, but luckily El-Shaarawy was able to step up and block him. I thought that after that we could be more solid and try to get a foothold in the game,” Ranieri said.

Earlier, Antonio Conte commented on the game with Roma.
