After the Serie A Matchday 14 trip to Napoli, Coach Luciano Spalletti and captain Manuel Locatelli spoke.
LUCIANO SPALLETTI
“We found ourselves blocked up in midfield in the first half, unable to make the most of the numerical advantage in there, but we were better in the second. We chased them higher up the pitch, but they did well and caused us problems. We took control after we scored but we played it safe without looking for that extra something. We need to move forward quickly, we can do better than we did today, we lost the ball too much. If you don’t grab control of the match, you ended up playing the opposition’s game.”
MANUEL LOCATELLI
“The boss asked us to pass more, to dominate the midfield. We made mistakes that we shouldn’t have, with simple passes. We need to show what we can do out there, and we can definitely do better than what we showed tonight. We need to pick up points and to win matches.”
