Jose Mourinho's Celoteh After Roma Implemented In Napoli: Football Sometimes Not Fair
Napoli continued their winning trend in Serie A after beating AS Roma on Monday, January 30 in the morning WIB. This is their fourth straight win in Serie A.
Extraordinary again, this is the first 15th victory of the Partenopei in their last 16 matches in Serie A.
Argentina striker Giovanni Simeone's goal sealed Napoli's 2-1 win over AS Roma at Diego Maradona Stadium.
Armed with an additional three points, Napoli were able to maintain a 13-point lead at the top of the Italian Serie A standings. They have now collected 53 points.
Luciano Spalletti's team are now 13 points ahead of second-placed Inter Milan team. Meanwhile, Roma are stuck in sixth place with 37 points.
Partenopei opened the scoring through Victor Osimhen's goal in the 17th minute.
However, Stephan El Shaarawy equalized for Roma with his goal in the 75th minute.
When the match is expected to end in a draw, Simeone, who plays as a substitute, ensures three points for his team through a goal he scored in the 86th minute.
"Since the first minute we played well. Our team was in control, we pressed very strongly, we defended well," said AS Roma coach Jose Mourinho.
"Sometimes football is unfair, a team that deserves more wins is lost. Sometimes we win even though it's not appropriate for that, but this time we deserve to win."
"I told the players we have to be sad for this defeat, but calm down until we meet again at the Olimpico on Wednesday," continued the former Inter Milan coach.
