Massimo Oddo concedes the draw was deserved after a 2-2 with Napoli, but Pescara “start well and we can only improve.”
The Delfini were leading 2-0 after 35 minutes at the Stadio Adriatico after their promotion, but substitute Dries Mertens bagged a quick brace.
“We started strong, then what happened was we were facing Napoli,” smiled Oddo on Mediaset Premium.

“We started strong, then what happened was we were facing Napoli,” smiled Oddo on Mediaset Premium.
“We fell away under the force of their pressure in the second half, having used up a lot of energy. We still didn’t allow them many chances, aside from the goals.
“I’m nonetheless satisfied, because we start the season well and can only improve going forward.
“It’s only normal that people assume we’ll be candidates for the drop, as we are a newly-promoted side. It’s up to us to overturn those expectations.
“We must have the humility to work hard and get stronger. Napoli do not have many weaknesses, but they are a little flat on the lines. That is why I put Gianluca Caprari there as a False 9.”
