Antonio Conte after the draw with Lazio

Rome, 15 February 2025 - A 2-2 which pleases but, at the same time, displeases everyone. Lazio e Napoli they chase each other before dividing the stakes in a match opened by Isaac before the almost immediate equaliser of Breakers: the Azzurri take the lead thanks to a daring own goal by Marusic before cashing in the network Day which closes the games, postponing once again the appointment with the return to victory and the consequent attempt to escape on theInter, engaged tomorrow on the field of Juventus.  

Baroni's statements

  The first of the discontented, despite the draw obtained in the Cesarini zone of a match that seemed cursed, is Marco Baroni, who did not hide his emotions at the post-match microphones. "It's a shame we didn't win, because the boys played a full game against the top of the table, a strong team that is doing an extraordinary job. We conceded two avoidable goals, but this is who we are: like all good things, we have weaknesses that we have to remove. However, I congratulated my players". Especially the substitutes, who gave back to the Lazio the impetus to rebel against a defeat that was perhaps excessive. "I work with everyone and often pay more attention to those who have less space on the pitch. Day he is a strong player, Isaac he gave an extraordinary performance and he is a boy who is clearly growing and who fights for the good of the team. Like him, we all want to do it all the way". Slightly more muted, however, the performance of noslin. "On his side there was a very strong opponent and he loves depth, so he wasn't always able to find it. However, he gave us a big hand and, in light of the injury of Castilians, to be verified, it could also be useful in the coming weeks. Day instead, as well as Pedro, he can play anywhere up front: even as a centre back."

Conte's statements

For obvious reasons, too Antonio Conte, with the third draw in a row, is left with a bitter taste in his mouth: from the final result to the many problems in the squad which have in fact also influenced the carousel of changes. "The first move was forced, because Good morning he was coming off a two month hiatus. At that point, with politan, we gave the team the signal that we wanted to win the match, but then also Mazzocchi had a problem. It's a shame because in two trips to theOlympic we have done 2 points, leaving behind 4 on the road. We have values, we are hard to die and, even more so, it hurts to concede the draw like this". Among other things, the third and all from advantageous situations.

"The two at theOlympic they matured against very good teams and therefore I take them as positive results, especially considering where we come from. We try to give our best to stay at the top of the table because we know where we come from". Among the positive notes from home Napoli there's a Breakers who once again replies present when called upon. "We must not distort the characteristics of our players. Among them there is Jacks, who has the qualities of both a second striker and a finisher. Things went according to plan and so, considering that we had our bête noire in front of us, we're not complaining."
