Ciro Ferraraformer Napoli defender and commentator for Dazn, expressed himself like this in the post-match of Napoli-Lecce: “It was a complicated match for Napoli thanks to Lecce, in the way they put Napoli in difficulty, but Conte in the interval he fixed something and it showed in the first half. Napoli were slow in turning the ball over.
Napoli are not used to having such high ball possession (65%, ed.) and this figure surprises me. On points, Conte’s team deserved the victory against a good Lecce. Despite not playing one of the best matches, Napoli gained three very important points, also for morale. Now a tough cycle begins, starting with Milan, and therefore these are three fundamental points for Napoli.”
