Raspadori: “After Fiorentina we looked each other in the eye and started again.” Di Lorenzo: “Difficult match, we wanted victory at all costs”
For the game it is better to review later, in the meantime Napoli are holding on to the success in Berlin which comes after the away one in Braga (in the middle the good game – with defeat attached – against Real Madrid). The table is smiling, the round of 16 is close and so Garcia puffs out his chest and so does captain Di Lorenzo: “It was a difficult match against an opponent eager for redemption. We wanted victory at all costs, it’s always important not to concede goals and then our quality players took care of it. Now everyone is waiting for us – explained the national team full-back – and therefore everything becomes more complicated, especially in an environment like tonight’s.”

Jack Raspadori also says that Napoli wasn’t a brilliant team: “They were very closed and well organised, but we should have found other solutions – said the goalscorer of the day -. After Fiorentina we looked each other in the eye and set off again, winning Even tonight after Verona it makes us very happy.” Rudi Garcia completed the mission he had set himself: “We took back the points we had left with Real Madrid, demonstrating that we know how to fight on a very difficult pitch. We put the right ingredients on the field, we suffered almost nothing even though we didn’t often being dangerous. We knew how peculiar it was to face an opponent in difficulty, we didn’t move the ball with the speed we should have used, especially in the first half.”

The French coach’s scattered and also shareable considerations: “It was an intelligent performance, at least in the second half when we went from one front to the other horizontally quickly. So we found the episode that rewarded us thanks to the quality of the individuals , namely Kvara and Raspadori, and the desire to recover the ball forward as also happened on the occasion of that slip by Natan which for me is emblematic of this victory.” Garcia focused on the team’s mentality in the press conference: “We were on track even if we made some mistakes technically, especially with Cajuste. We had studied Berlin and we didn’t let them express the skills they have, woe to think that it was It’s easy to come back from Berlin with the three points. We’re halfway through the group, after the return match against the Germans I think we’ll be able to make an initial assessment. Even at Maradona, like tonight, we’ll have to withstand the physical impact of Union. Now let’s enjoy this victory and then we will think about Milan.”
