“We sinned in two episodes. We knew the strength of the Rome on dead balls.
I made a substitution before that corner by bringing on a defender but it wasn't enough. We conceded two goals from set pieces.
It was the 90th minute and there were only a few minutes left: I took off a boy who had just come on, who didn't have physicality, because I needed that. However, I'm happy with my team's performance."
So the technician of the Napoli, Francis Calzone, speaking to Sky Sport, commented on the 2-2 draw against Roma.
“The season is what it is. The boys feel the weight of a less than stellar situation.
I have the duty to train them well and try to make them play football. We have conceded very little to a team that under De Rossi was averaging two or three goals per game.
I'm happy with what we did, we managed to put everything in. That way you lose few games", added the coach of the Italian team.
On the fight for the Champions League: “I come out of this match feeling encouraged because the team performed well. Clearly if you don't win, everything can become difficult.
We have to think game by game and think about ourselves first rather than our opponents. I'm not worried about the schedule or the opponent, but my team.
I want the game to be played like this from now on. De Laurentiis?
It’s not up to me to give him advice.”
