We did well to win this evening, we showed spirit and character. I also have to give praise to the team and staff, we work many hours a day. We know that Naples is a passionate and demanding city and we want to keep up with the expectations and warmth of our people. The boys know that there is a lot of attention and healthy competition within us and everyone is responding to their best. The answers given by the team make me happy and happy“.
At the press conference Elia Caprile. Here’s what the Italian goalkeeper had to say about the game:
“We started very well, then Como managed to put us in trouble. In the locker room after the first half we said to ourselves that we could win this game with more attention and we succeeded. We have a group with huge quality and we have shown it. With each passing game we realize that we have to grow but also that we have to be stronger and stronger and we have to keep working with this intensity.“
Here are the statements of two other main characters of the game:
Luke: For me it’s a more gradual path because I’ve reached the end of the market and I’m hitting the top week after week. All these performances are thanks to my teammates who help me a lot. We have to continue like this because we are a team that works hard and we have to continue in this way proving that we are a close and strong team.“
McThomas:”The goal was a great feeling and I thank Romelu for the assist. We broke the deadlock immediately and then we were completely out of control in the first half. In the second half we regained control of the game and deserved the win. Now we have to continue to think game by game and stay focused without looking at the standings“
