"Coming to Stadio Olimpico and playing with the kind of authority we did, pushing forward constantly, that is not easy, Roma were coming off a run of positive results, they were ahead of us in the table, and are a very good team. I am pleased, as I saw a performance of character from the lads. We looked them in the eye from the start. I am very pleased."
"It's not that I am worried, but I do hope the players I have now stay healthy, otherwise we'll have even more trouble. I am truly happy for the lads, because this is a moment when we need to put armour on and go into war. We have to make do, but we continue with this enthusiasm, united and overcoming every obstacle in our way."
Napoli secured a 1-0 win at Stadio Olimpico thanks to David Neres' first-half strike, leapfrogging Roma and moving level with AC Milan. The team defended stoutly in the second half, possessing just 28.3% but limiting Roma to a single shot on target, with Vanja Milinkovic-Savic denying Tommaso Baldanzi late on. Several key players are absent amid an injury crisis, including Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku. The side displayed notable character, unity and enthusiasm, embracing a combative mindset to overcome obstacles. The victory marked Napoli's third straight win in all competitions since the international break.
