This Tuesday evening, Naples had a second important success after its victory against Atalanta in Serie A (3-1), this time by winning with authority against Qarabag (2-0) in C1 during an evening naturally charged with emotion, 5 years to the day after the death of Diego Maradona. Despite a very small squad, Antonio Conte praised the state of mind of his group, believing that the situation forces his players to “take on even more responsibilities” and to invent “new solutions in every match”. After the match, Conte underlined the symbolic significance of this victory: “It was a special evening for Naples, Napoli and the Neapolitans. Maradona represents something incomprehensible without having lived in this city. We wanted to honor this date; there was incredible energy, we captured it and reproduced it. »
“We are still short of staff. Today, out of seven substitutes, there were two goalkeepers and two promising players like Vergara and Ambrosino. When you have few players available, you have to find new solutions by getting the most out of the same players, and the risks increase. We have been lagging behind since the beginning, we cannot control everything. Yesterday, Gutiérrez was injured after only 15 minutes of training »he explained on the microphone of Sky Sports after the victory.
