Rome, 2 May (LaPresse) – It was a good performance nonetheless; otherwise, you don’t come out of these matches unscathed. Both we and Como had a lot at stake, perhaps more so for Como in terms of Champions League qualification. In the first half we struggled a bit to apply the right pressure, but let’s not forget that they have a goalkeeper, which makes things very tricky.” So said Napoli manager Antonio Conte to DAZN after the 0-0 draw against Como. “The lads did well; in the second half we improved in terms of the quality of our play and had chances to score. There are three games left; we’ve taken another step forward not just for a Champions League spot but for the highest possible position. The lads deserve credit for what they achieved on a difficult pitch and against a very tricky side,” he added. “De Bruyne? He’s in the same state as he was in the previous match; nothing has changed in seven days. Against Cremonese, he played well and scored. There are matches where you can shine more and others less, but Kevin did his bit. He was very organised. Then I decided to bring on Anguissa and move McTominay into the attacking midfield,” he concluded.
