8.45pm – The press conference begins.

The match:
“Good evening everyone. It was an intense match, we tried to close the spaces, it cost us a lot of energy, we also had a bit of luck but unfortunately Lovric stopped, an important player for us, for the balance in general we played a boy like Atta who is maturing. In the second half we didn’t start well but also because we had a strong team in front of us, who scored 90 points two years ago and who had 8 of those on the pitch today. . Against these teams when balance is lacking it’s the logical consequence to lose. But we didn’t give up until the end of the match, with several guys on the field too, we have to continue working like this.”

Would you make other choices after seeing Politano and Neres leave like this on the pitch?

“I know the quality of Politano and Neres well, sometimes we stopped them, other times we didn’t. They are players who hurt everyone. There are also physical players like Lukaku. Maybe on a day when things work these games with a pinch luckily we also managed to win, but it was clear that there was a gap, we gave everything in the first half but then in the second half the result took a different direction.”

Defensively some errors:
“I will look back at the match, it must be remembered what opponent was in front of us, you can use all possible tactics but then you have to see the values ​​on the pitch. We were up against a team that had much more quality than us, we lost energy and we couldn’t find any other energy.”

How do you explain the errors behind it?
“Mistakes happen in football, for many reasons, but I want to focus on the positive things. Kristensen played 90 minutes for the first time, Atta played against one of the best teams in Europe. In this championship, to beat teams like Napoli you have to do many things, maybe even Lucca hasn’t been seen much but has done a lot of work in terms of the doorsteps.”

Perhaps injuries in rotations also have an impact:
“Maybe yes.”
“Maybe yes.”
