NAPLES. "Points are always important, especially given the quality of the opponent we faced. We played a crucial first half, and then it was only natural for them to react. We even held our own for a while, and in the end, it's an important point. The result, however, is secondary because I wanted a response from a mental standpoint." These are the words of Paolo Zanetti, Verona coach, speaking to Dazn after the 2-2 draw with Napoli at the Maradona.

The Gialloblù coach emphasized the solidity and quality of his team: "We needed to bounce back immediately, and we played an extraordinary match. This team has quality. We're in this situation, too, and we have to get out of there at all costs. For the entire football world, we were already dead, but instead we're still here fighting. The team always responds; the problem is consistency. It's not easy to always be at 100% and perfect."

Zanetti also commented on Frese's spectacular goal: "It wasn't predictable, but he always goes forward as a fifth-choice attacker. Right now, we're missing Belghali, who is an important player. Everyone made themselves available and showed that, by giving their all, we can compete with anyone." Verona thus earned a valuable point in the race to avoid relegation and confirmed their ability to compete against the big teams in Serie A.

As a Neapolitan I will tell you that Verona dominated the midfield in the first half, in the second half Napoli was forced to play the game, but Verona, despite having a squad inferior in terms of technical level, in my opinion could have even won this match, then the referee gets involved, let's not talk about it, that Inter is strong and is showing it on the pitch but yesterday the VAR, from my way of seeing football, what did he see?

The result of this match is a bit disappointing, but team spirit is what matters. Zanetti is right when he says it's difficult to maintain consistent form. Let's hope they continue to work to improve.

Bro...m Zanetti, what kind of match did you see? With all due respect, you work miracles with this team. We were certainly composed in the first half, but a regular goal disallowed, a non-existent penalty against him, what are we talking about?

Carlo Nettuno, without taking anything away from Verona, who played a good match, but that's not the point. These days, matches are decided by the referees and company. This applies to everyone. Our championship is distorted to the core and hasn't always been a Sunday one.

Donato Cantile fully agrees but this is it, or we create a mess in the appropriate places and it is not us who have to do it but the president
