Napoli secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Lecce thanks to Di Lorenzo’s goal, maintaining their position at the top of the Serie A table. Following the match, Napoli’s manager Antonio Conte shared his thoughts on the game and looked ahead to upcoming challenges.
Conte expressed his intention to watch the highly anticipated Derby d’Italia between Inter and Juventus. “I will watch Inter-Juventus. We’ll be watching knowing that they are two very strong teams, and we have maximum respect for them,” he stated.
Reflecting on the match against Lecce, Conte was largely satisfied with his team’s performance. “I have little to reproach the team for. We had 65% possession and took 24 shots. Lecce did well to defend, but we attacked. When you attack and don’t score, a bit of nervousness sets in. The boys were a bit anxious, but you need to understand that maturity and experience are necessary to wait for the right moment to strike. We’re happy with this victory against a very organized Lecce,” he explained.
The Napoli manager acknowledged the challenge posed by Lecce’s defensive strategy and his team’s response. He noted that while the players showed some anxiety in their efforts to break through, it’s important to maintain composure and patience in such situations.
Looking ahead, Conte turned his attention to Napoli’s upcoming match against AC Milan at San Siro. “Now we focus on Milan. It’s an important fixture, and we’ll be measuring ourselves against a significant team. We’re approaching the match in the right way. We’ve earned the points we needed to. San Siro is never a walk in the park,” he remarked.
