“I have to compliment Napoli, as they deserved the victory and we gave them too much space, so they’re lethal in these situations,” the Granata Coach told Sky Sport Italia.
“We were caught napping in the opening 25 minutes and tried to open it up in the second half, but it was too late. Maybe we needed to be broken in order to see what was wrong and be put back together stronger.
“We did score three goals and had three or four other chances. It’s a real shame we conceded goals on situations we had prepared and practiced dealing with in training.
“Napoli pressed us high and we were unable to play our style of football.”
