“We wanted the three points today and we couldn’t let it happen that we didn’t find a way to win this game," Chris Smalling, the Roma defender, said after their win over Salernitana.
"In the second half we showed character to get the win. I think today it was important to win not just for the league. Last year soon after I arrived [back] I had an unfortunate injury that I just couldn’t get over.
"But I have come into this season fresh and feeling good. I’m just working hard to make sure that I am available for the manager for every game."
The last meeting between Napoli and Roma in a league match was on 24 October 2021.
The two teams drew 0-0 in an encounter that was played at the Stadio Olimpico which is owned by the Italian National Olympic Committee.
