Mancini says a point is fine after Napoli draw, and praises the new arrivals
Source: GialloRossi.net
Gianluca Mancini said a point was a fair result after Roma's Serie A matchday 8 clash at Napoli, played at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Roma conceded three goals, the same number they had let in across the rest of the league campaign, and Mancini admitted that was a problem for the defenders. Asked about it, he said: "Quello si, purtroppo ci sono partite in cui li prendi. Dobbiamo rivedere il primo tempo dove abbiamo subito molte occasioni." He pointed to the first half, where Roma faced a lot of chances, and to the first goal, scored by Anguissa, where he felt the team could have managed the ball better.
Mancini described a Roma side that refuses to give up. He said the team had never shown that habit before, apart from one game last year in Milan, and that the squad keeps creating chances in every match. He said Napoli are one of the strong sides they had to face, and that the players who came on did not lower the tempo, with the team staying reactive at its highest level. On the question of whether the new arrivals had raised the standard, he agreed that this was what the squad had been missing, adding that the newcomers were strong and young.
Mancini said: "Mollare non l'abbiamo mai fatto, forse una partita l'anno scorso a Milano. Quest'anno ci crediamo sempre, creiamo occasioni, poi ci sono le squadre forti come il Napoli. Oggi chiunque è entrato non ha abbassato il ritmo della partita e la squadra rimane sempre reattiva al massimo. Siamo contenti." On the newcomers, he added: "Assolutamente sì, era quello che ci mancava. Sono arrivati tutti ragazzi forti, giovani. Leo è stato capitano in una squadra importante come il Marsiglia. Diamo tutto per questa maglia per portare a casa sempre il risultato." On the concessions, he said: "Anche sul gol di Anguissa potevamo gestire meglio la palla, sul secondo sapevamo la forza di McTominay in area e il terzo dalla distanza. Fa parte di queste partite, l'importante è reagire e non abbattersi. Per come si era messa un punto va bene."

Roma drew 3-3 at Napoli's Diego Armando Maradona stadium in Serie A matchday 8, according to Retesport and Forza Roma, with Forza Roma describing a comeback from 3-2 down. Roma News, however, reports a 0-0 draw, so the outlets differ on the score. Gasperini admitted Napoli were superior for the first half hour, and Mancini said Roma conceded three goals, the same number they had let in across the rest of the league campaign. Mancini said the first goal, scored by Anguissa, could have been handled better, while Gasperini said Roma's early struggles were followed by a strong finish to the half.
Mancini described a team that refuses to give up and said the players who came on did not lower the tempo. He agreed that the new arrivals had raised the standard, calling them strong and young, and pointed to a captain at Marseille without naming him. Gasperini praised Balerdi and Xavi de Roon as leaders at their former clubs and said they had settled in quickly. Retesport adds that Balerdi scored two goals, and Forza Roma notes that Balerdi's speed was important when he came on in defence. Both outlets single out Soulé and Ndicka for extraordinary performances.
Gasperini compared this result with Roma's other draws this season against Inter and Como, and said Napoli are a reference side who have won two Scudetti. He also said the team had not played with frenzy and had kept its way of playing. Gasperini joked that he hoped Massimiliano Allegri had not been as agitated with him, and that he had not thrown him out. Roma News reports that Nahuel Molina said he was happy to accept rotation with the other wide players and came to Roma to help in any way possible.

3h agoMancini: 'We never give up, we give everything for this shirt'
Gianluca Mancini has said Roma never give up, speaking to Dazn after the 1-1 draw with Napoli. Asked about the team's attitude, he said: "It's a Roma that never gives up. You're right. We never give up, we only gave up against Inter last year. We create the chances and we have never been downcast. This is the sign of a great team, and it's important that the substitutes come on well and give intensity. Today I am very happy." Mancini was also asked whether Roma are stronger than last year. He said the new arrivals are strong and young, and that the club's depth has grown. He noted that Leonardo Balerdi is not young but has brought experience and leadership. "All those who have arrived are strong and have increased the value of the squad. Roma is the most important thing, we give everything for this shirt." Last season's collapse against Inter was therefore not forgotten, and Mancini framed this year's group as a response to it. On the match itself, Mancini said: "We need to review the first half. The goals we conceded are part of games like this. What matters is not to be downcast and to react. Given how the game had gone, it turned out well."

Gianluca Mancini has said Roma never give up, speaking in full after the Napoli-Roma clash, an Serie A matchday eight fixture. "This Roma doesn't give up. We never have. This season we always believe, against strong teams we have never been knocked down. We believed, today Molina, Ghilardi, Balerdi and the others who came on added extra quality, the team always stays active. We're happy." Mancini was asked how the newcomers have settled in. "We were missing a bit, they have all arrived strong and young. Balerdi has brought leadership, Molina and De Roon, everyone who has arrived has increased the value of the squad. Last year we missed that a bit. We give everything for this shirt to bring home the result." On Anguissa's goal, Mancini said: "Sometimes you get them, other times you don't. How the Anguissa goal came about, we could have managed the ball better. It's part of these matches. The important thing was not to let ourselves be knocked down. Given how the game had gone, a point is fine."
