Enrique ecstatic about Roma's win over Napoli

 　　ROME, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- Luis Enrique claimed he was living his happiest day as Roma head coach after his side beat Napoli 3-1 on Sunday.

　　"This is my happiest day on the Roma bench," the under-fire Spaniard was quoted by football-italia.net as saying.

　　"It was a completely crazy game, though. We were lucky and worked hard, but frankly¹ any result could have come out at the end.

　　"Today my team welcomed modern football, because if you play against Napoli with a line-up that isn't both offensive² and defensive³ together, then you're dead. The players have to sacrifice themselves."

　　It seemed a long way away from Enrique's possession football, as most of the goals came on the counter.

　　"I hope to learn Italian soon and become more Italian in football terms, though I'll never give up on attacking football.

　　"Everyone knows we play ball to feet and with that style there is always the chance to run into space, but I still think the best way of defending is to keep possession in the opposition⁴ area," he said.
