Roma is playing a very positive championship. In fact, this year it has become a competitive team, showing how to win the most games with minimal losses. It’s on the right track to achieve a winning mentality, which means getting into the pitch with the confidence to cope successfully face any team. Compared to what it has been shown up to now, Roma has not yet reached this milestone, I testify, in my opinion, who has suffered two defeats in the two most important games he played. The match against Juventus in the league, which would allow her to continue to exert strong pressure on Juve same and the one against Napoli in the Italian Cup. In both lost the confrontation with the opponent in a clear way. The next step will be to maintain the same strong conviction even in the big games, which determine the difference between a good season and a great one.

Yesterday I wondered who between Juventus and Napoli would have shown the will to win from the start of the game and Juve did it from the first moment. It would be useful to understand why this state of mind it has been demonstrated by Napoli only during the second time it has provided, as we say, “a proof of pride.” In my opinion an experienced coach like Benitez should have parameters to determine if before an important game his team is in the best emotional state to face an opponent that you know the game system and as well you know the fighting spirit that, his coach, Conte is able to convey to his players. With this awareness, you go in knowing what it’s very likely to happen the field and that really did take place. Of course the players are not robots that perform the Benitez’s order, however, a team that wants to win cannot enter the pitch with that attitude. So I think it is important for Napoli to understand how the attitude of the players has been so dismissive, you may be inferior in terms of quality of play, but not in relation to the will to face to the best of your abilities the opponents. The only one who has shown a positive approach was Reina, the Napoli goalkeeper, who has played his role with determination. Napoli needs to improve its ability to go in the field with the emotional condition allowing to play a game with determination, otherwise the class of individual players and the team will remain locked in a drawer where you’ve lost the key.
The main sources of stress that result in the fear that the referees have of the consequence of his decisions. If the anxiety levels are high, the referees’ ability to focus in the games’ important clues (ball movement and players’ behaviour) decreases. In this way they reduce their ability to analyze the ball movements and those of the players. This is happened yesterday in Catania-Juventus, when the referees have spent almost a minute to talk to each other before making a decision. It is no coincidence that the main-referee Gervasoni has accepted the decision of another colleague which he is an international referee, Rizzoli, for this role must have been regarded as more competent to decide than himself.
