Antonio Contecoach of Napoli, spoke on the microphone after the success against Como DAZN: “I don’t know if Napoli are top of the table, but we are first and this is a fact. If they had told me this three months ago it would have been difficult to believe it. We know very well that we had to sweat in every match, even today against perhaps the best team in the championship, who were coming off almost three consecutive victories and who had won 3-1 at Atalanta, as well as against Verona, it was very nice to see today, in the final part of the first time, in difficulty, when we were conceding something, a great reaction. We are growing on a temperamental level, in terms of ability to wear different clothes, to play football but at the same time get our clothes dirty when we have to. an excellent signal, we must take it with both hands. This connection with the fans is very important. Having rekindled the enthusiasm in Naples is not something to be taken for granted, starting from the assumption that Naples has a passion for football regardless passion giving everything, like today. In the second half we improved from every point of view.”
First in the standings at the break.
“With the boys we said to ourselves that we could go into the break maintaining a position in the standings that no one could have imagined at the beginning. A few games have passed, but we have scored 16 points which will come in handy for our objectives. In the first half we were we started very well, scoring a very nice goal, the result of hard work. Then we gave Como some space and we couldn’t counter this dribble and they reached the limit to kick. Then in the second half we changed something from a tactical point of view and there was no more match. We lost too many duels, but it is part of a process of rebuilding self-esteem and confidence. Playing in Naples, at Maradona, with a full stadium means that those who play feel the mood of the public If you make a mistake, you can feel the disappointment and you can lose a bit of self-confidence. In the second half we recovered well and had a better time. However, at this moment Como was the worst team to face.”
