Reuters, October 23 – Jose Mourinho, the manager of AS Roma, expressed disappointment with the result of Sunday’s Serie A match against Napoli, when the guests claimed all three points thanks to a late goal.
In a game where neither team was able to create clear-cut opportunities, Osimhen gave Napoli the victory 10 minutes before the end of regulation.
“Well done to Napoli because they won without really warranting it and well done to my players as well, because they lost without really deserving it,” Mourinho said.
“Like them, I wanted to win. They manage to score with two shots on goal. It was a close game and difficult, but we controlled the situation.
Paulo Dybala, Georginio Wijnaldum, Ebrima Darboe, and defender Zeki Celik all still sidelined, and Mourinho acknowledged that this is a concern for the team.
“I don’t like to look at the numbers of my players, who have also played a lot already this season.
This time, we didn’t play during the week, but if we do, we encounter a few problems, Mourinho stated.
“So once we passed the 70-minute mark, we started to notice the effects of those problems. However, we had the advantage over a strong opposition, and I feel cheated. A big embrace to my players who gave it their all because, in the end, the team with the most goals wins, and they accomplished that tonight.
Roma are in fifth in the standings on 22 points, seven behind leaders Napoli..
Mourinho said Roma’s defeat to Napoli was unfair.
