Serie A: Napoli-Roma, formations

Facing Roma and the "legend" Mourinho knowing that we have lost the fastest train to the Scudetto but continuing to believe in it because "we don't play the games of our opponents: we could try not to lose the previous game, which now reduces our chances in terms of numbers. , but in our intentions nothing changes ".

Thus Luciano Spalletti launches the match on Easter Monday at Maradona against the Giallorossi, in a ranking that sees the Azzurri set in third place at -5 points from Milan and -3 from Inter, both winners in the advances to the championship.

The scudetto dream is moving away but now Napoli must give a strong response to Maradona, who has already seen five defeats for the Azzurri,

and he must now lay another important brick for at least third place and a quiet and well-deserved return to the Champions League.

To do this, the team needs to be motivated and Spalletti does it, without taking away the blame: "What bothered me most this year - said the coach - are the home games in which we could jump on top of the standings and instead we had difficulties. It made me think, but I know that there is also an open future, to organize it better, manage the ball, aim to always win. You have to create mental strength for this. " 

Work holidays therefore for Rome and Naples, forced to face each other on Easter Monday due to the European commitment of the Giallorossi on Thursday.

Match, the one with Bodo Glimt, which gave further impetus to the team and fans, the latter protagonists of a real assault on the ticket office for the next games at Roma home.

But to return to the Olimpico they will have to wait until early May because now there will be three away matches for Mourinho's men.

It starts on Monday at the 'Maradona', then on Saturday at the San Siro against Inter and finally on April 28 in England with Leicester.

Two hundred and seventy minutes that will direct the season finale of Roma who, in the meantime, must go to Naples from the former Spalletti to keep fifth place.

The Special One, unlike his colleague,

did not speak and will not speak at the conference.

Concentration must be all on the pitch and in the first real post-Conference training session (yesterday's was unloading), the first two good news arrived.

Abraham and Pellegrini did regular training with the group after they left the pitch with some muscle overload on Thursday.

The rest of the squad is also available, including Leonardo Spinazzola, for whom the right moment will have to be found to give him a few minutes after nine months of ordeal.

In the meantime Mourinho will bet en masse on the eleven who eliminated Bodo Glimt.
