Frank Anguissa enjoyed a starring role in the evening. His header at the “Via del Mare” gave Napoli three precious points against a tough and relentless Lecce, and at the end of the match the Cameroonian made no secret of his satisfaction. “It was important to win this match too – he told Dazn microphones – Lecce has always been a difficult place for us, and these three points are worth as much as the ones we earned against Inter." It's the perfect snapshot of the mentality Antonio Conte is trying to instill in his team: solidity, focus, and constant hunger, regardless of the caliber of the opponent.
Anguissa, awarded as the best player of the match, also jokes about the individual recognition: "Unfortunately, I can't give the MVP award to Milinkovic-Savic, otherwise my son will kill me.", he smiles, recalling the Serbian goalkeeper's decisive save on Camarda's penalty that kept the Azzurri alive.

Anguissa has high praise for Antonio Conte's work: "The coach always instills in us a great deal of desire and determination. He's a coach who treats every match like a final, and this spirit is reflected in us. We're all happy to be working with him." In a few sentences, the Cameroonian sums up Napoli's new identity: a less spectacular but more concrete team, capable of struggling and winning even when the night doesn't seem right.
