Napoli – Giovanni Di Lorenzo isn't interested in controversy. After Napoli's victory over Inter, the Azzurri captain wanted to clarify the penalty incident that sparked debate among fans and commentators.
Speaking to Dazn, the defender explained his version of events:
"I went down from the pitch because I felt contact from behind. I think they replayed it: I clearly felt the challenge that knocked me off balance. It wasn't a simulation; the referee assessed it as he should have."
A direct message from the Neapolitan captain, firmly rejecting any accusation of excessive cunning.

On a tactical level, Di Lorenzo then talked about the preparation for the match, focusing on Antonio Conte's requests:
"We had primarily prepared a deep attack. Di Neres was supposed to target Acerbi in one-on-one situations, and when he broke away, our midfielders were ready to move in. They're very good at this, and they proved it again tonight: we scored two very nice goals."
A victory of character and organization for Napoli, who emerged from the big match with a convincing performance and a strong message for the championship.
