Napoli must prove strength of character against Roma

 The in-form Nigerian and his colleagues must prevent history from repeating itself for the Partenopei

When Victor Osimhen halved the deficit with six minutes of normal time remaining against Fiorentina, the Diego Armando Maradona crowd refound their voice, knowing a point could still be salvaged after what was looking set to be a 3-1 home defeat.

With Serie A not possessing any side as strong as Massimiliano Allegri’s 17/18 Juventus any longer, this season represents the Azzurri’s best chance of claiming a first Scudetto in a generation. Despite the recent setback, Koulibaly is not prepared to throw in the towel.

“We wanted to win at all costs,” the centre-back told DAZN after last week’s 3-2 defeat by Fiorentina.“Now we need to prepare for the game with Roma and I still believe we can it [win the title]. We won’t look at the others, but we’ll only focus on ourselves.”
