'Napoli tried to play directly through Osimhen' - AS Roma coach Mourinho

AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho believes Napoli, initially, tried to play their game directly through Super Eagle Victor Osimhen.

The two Serie A heavyweights settled for a goalless draw at the Olimpico Stadium in the top-tier match. It was the first time the Naples charges had failed to score in the league this season after a 100% winning record in their previous eight matches.

"The game had a lot of transitions in it – they tried to play really directly through Osimhen and then bring others into play around him," Mourinho told the club's official portal.
