If Claudio Ranieri implements a defensive strategy and relies on counter-attacks, then all of this will indeed be quite suitable for facing Napoli, who have a pretty good attack this season and all of this can be expected to reduce any fast attacks that Napoli can make. And sometimes the counterattack strategy is quite effective in certain conditions. But the problem is that Conte must already know every strategy that Ranieri is likely to use. Because Conte definitely knows Ranieri very well when making strategies for the team he coaches. Because Conte also often faces clubs coached by Ranieri. So Ranieri must be able to create a new formula or strategy at AS Roma so that Conte cannot read the strategy used by AS Roma.
Will Ranieri agree to play defense in his first match, and besides, Roma's defense is not so good to withstand two halves of attack from Napoli, as for their game in counterattacks, I also doubt that they are strong in this. So far I do not know what Ranieri should do to get points in the match with Napoli, since the match is away for Roma, maybe they will decide to play defense, but I think that for Ranieri this match will end in defeat.
Well, we can't even hope for much with AS Roma's current condition. I don't know how, but the quality of Roma's players is also not as good as last season. There is quite a clear decline in this squad. It's just that I hope Ranieri can revive the performance of AS Roma players to their maximum level. Because if not, AS Roma will probably only continue their negative trend for the rest of this season.
And it is true that even though AS Roma survives, AS Roma may still not be able to withstand every attack launched by Napoli. But at least it will slightly reduce the risk of conceding a lot of goals. But if it turns out that Ranieri bravely used an offensive strategy and succeeded then I think the biggest appreciation should be directed at him.
