The hope is that De Laurentiis already has the coach and that he is working on next year. These days must pass quickly

Caesar – Dear Guido, it’s really a shame about this draw. Napoli devoured a victory. He played a good game in particular, dominating his opponent for an hour. Today the team played and fought, providing proof of pride. Only at the end of the first half could we have been 3 or 4 nil without a shadow of a doubt. Yet Roma were driven and determined, full of motivation, fighting for a place in the Champions League. Oh yes, a place in the Champions League was unthinkable in the disastrous phase of the now overrated Mourinho.
Guido – I don’t think Mourinho is overrated. Far from it. To seriously make the comparison between De Rossi and Mourinho we need to wait at least ten years.
Caesar – Well, he is certainly a coach with a great media impact but if he had stayed I think that Roma would have fought for a place in the Conference (even if when he won it he was able to sell it to the Roman fans like the Champions League).
Guido – However, De Rossi certainly made a turning point with his arrival, a turning point that the coaches who took over at Napoli did not. Going back to the match I would say that Napoli paid for some of the usual problems. Inaccuracy (to say the least) in the final phase with goals badly devoured or narrowly missed.
Caesar – It’s definitely an imprecision but we must also say that this year is how things are going and this has also contributed a little to the difference compared to last year. And then the defense. Juan Jesus’ useless penalty foul was incredible. The Brazilian has been a disaster this year and he is making him pay dearly for the president’s mistake of not wanting to adequately replace Kim by investing in the market instead of thinking about yet another deal and yet another capital gain.
Guido – You are right. But what’s even more incredible is that not even the January transfer market was remedied. But a great injustice is being committed by placing all the blame on Juan Jesus. We take the goal taken from a corner. The usual Di Lorenzo makes a mistake. He doesn’t take the step forward by putting in the opponent is offside. Then they let their opponents head in the center of the area with a bridge for the center forward’s header left alone. And all this in the 89th minute against a team at the top for goals scored from free-kick headers and for goals in the final minutes of the match!
Caesar – Calzona who was known for dedicating himself to the defensive phase during Sarri’s time was unable to make any impact and adjust the defensive structure. However, there are only a few games left and we hope they pass soon so we can think about a new Napoli. I really hope that the president already has the new coach and they are already working for the new team. If this is not the case, there is a risk that this desired and longed-for new project for a Napoli once again at the top will remain just a dream of the fans.
