This time the draw doesn’t do justice to the performance, but it tells us something that everyone in Naples had already understood: the season was born wrong and will end wrong. Even when they play well, Napoli can’t win. Against Roma, a match full of emotions, dominated, with many opportunities created: Dybala’s advantage from a penalty, Olivera’s equalizer with a deflection, Osimhen’s turnaround again from a penalty and a new equalizer signed by Abraham.
Napoli plays better, perhaps like never before this season, but pays for two errors: one by Juan Jesus, yet another, and one by Di Lorenzo. They are the two worst on the pitch, while Osimhen’s excellent performance is not enough for the Neapolitans. At the end of the match Francesco Calzona can only express his regret, analyzing the match as follows:
“It’s clear that this team, if it’s the one seen today, can continue to be the right team for Napoli, perhaps adding something. But the club has to think about it, it’s not something that belongs to me. Today I’m sorry because these guys should have been rewarded with the full result, even the numbers were important by playing like this from now on to the end of matches you draw very few and lose very few.”
