After the Napoli-Roma match, giallorossi manager Eusebio Di Francesco spoke to Sky Sport's microphones to comment on the 1-1 draw at the San Paolo.
"We're sorry to have conceded a goal at 90', but Napoli deserved the draw. We were put in difficulty after De Rossi left the pitch. In the midfield they were dangerous and in the second half they made us run a lot, making us lower our quality."
Difficult tests in important matches, these things can help a team full of young footballers find maturity.
"We have to grow up and mature with many players. Not everyone has absorbed the new reality. When you play games like this, you want to get the result and play well. We have succeeded at times today, but very little in the second half. But we played a team who are in good form. We had several problems today - the main two De Rossi and Manolas, who are too important for us and had to leave the pitch due to injury."
At a tactical level, Roma suffered the aggressiveness of Napoli in the second half.
"When you play side-to-side horizontal football, Napoli attack you and put you in difficulty. Sometimes we managed to skip the offside trap and we became dangerous, we should have done it with more continuity. We made sure that they attacked us on the wings to isolate the attackers in the middle, and we managed well. The performance was excellent, there was great help amongst the team. We did not have it on all occasions, but the overall performance was excellent. We want to give peace of mind through our play. I would like to have a good and caring team."
