Hamsik and Strootman
A rival less, Roma
for Napoli? Definitely it is so, if we talk about the transfer market. Roma lost a bit of its “economic power” without Champions, in favor of Napoli and Juventus, as we wrote in a previous article.
According loads of people, Roma is the only italian team, truly able to oppose Juventus. From this point of view, Napoli has perhaps a rival less. The Roma’s team has proved to be worse than you thought, and, as the Napoli of Benitez teaches, go out from the Champions’ preliminary is a bad blow, psychologically. Also, you can not underestimate the fact that Roma will end the season in falling, having anticipated the phisical preparation. And championships are decided in the end, not in the beginning.
Roma is been comfortably beaten because of two footballers thrown out of the pitch. This is the symptom of insecurity and nervousness. But, apart from that, it has been superior for just early 30 minutes in the previous match. Porto is a real team, Roma it is not. And all the neapolitan supporters hope it will not become a real team in the next future. Good debut for Roma against Udinese in the championship, brilliant second half, 4 goals scored, it is true, but everything started thanks to a penalty kindly offered by the referee. Then a counterattack, the Friulian team had to attempt to recover! Really Roma can not interest us too much…
