Patience on Napoli-Roma: “I expect the Giallorossi to be closed, while the Azzurri will become unbalanced”

Michele Pazienza270 appearances and 6 goals in Serie A, current coach and former midfielder of, among others, Napoli, presented the match against Roma exclusively to the microphones of Vocegiallorossa.it.

Napoli-Roma, Ranieri’s third debut on the Giallorossi bench. Conte’s opponent, now increasingly immersed in the Neapolitan reality. What game will it be?
“I expect a match in which Roma will try in every way to close off all the spaces, forcing Napoli to go unbalanced and leave meters behind to try to exploit with the counterattacks of their offensive players. Conte’s team has a precise identity , to beat her you will need the perfect match.”

Is Ranieri’s return the right choice to try to save the season?
“At the moment yes, because he knows the environment like few others and has incredible international experience to revive the fortunes of the Giallorossi. Ranieri’s career speaks for itself. I believe that the owners have made the right decision.”

Difficult to answer: which Giallorossi player will have to change gear with the change on the bench?
“We cannot and must not talk about individuals, in my opinion: when there is a change on the bench, each member of the squad, regardless of their history and importance, must give that little bit more than before.”
