Conte’s deputy, on the bench for Napoli: “Excellent first half, in the second we took care more to defend ourselves than playing and without being aggressive we cannot do the same type of game”
“We certainly want to fight for something important”. In the words of Cristian Stellini, the deputy of Antonio Conte who was in the disqualified grandstand, Napoli keeps the Scudetto dream alive even after the second half of Bologna, who made the possibility of returning to -1 from the interview, remaining at -3. Betraying, moreover, precisely in the second half, a great suffering, against the rossoblù in great shape, but put under the first half.

“We must also be aware that we started to get to the top four and today’s point is important to continue working to keep that goal – he puts things in perspective Stellini -. Then if we are good and we will continue to improve in the mentality, for example entering the second times while maintaining the same rhythm, intensity and quality of the game of the first half, we will also be able to dream”.

“We made an excellent first half. We had prepared an aggressive game made of play and a lot of movement. In the second half we missed something, we took care more to defend ourselves that to play and when you lose that pace against a great health team like Bologna you struggle to resume the rhythm of the game, we are a team that must be aggressive and otherwise we are no longer able to play the game of the first half. We have to grow.”

“Bologna pressed us strongly, surely we did not move with the same quality of the first half, the distances have stretched and for the defenders of Bologna it was easier because the launches were very long and Lukaku was anticipated many times: they merit that they put in the conditions to make mistakes what we were not wrong in the first half”, added Stellini on the different contribution in the resumption of the Belgian attacker. And on the aircraft: “MCTominay took a blow to the thigh and one on his side, he came out because he could no longer run. Good morning he warmed strong in the interval because if we had needed we had to be sure that he could play: he has a muscle problem that we think he can solve for the next game”.
