dominating possession in both periods. He also hailed the defence for the brilliant performance and keeping Napoli to minimal chances.
“If you consider the overall run of the match, we should have won it. They put in an enormous effort in the first half and really covered a lot of miles. We took good advantage of the situation and knocked the ball around well.
