"We were too worried and too fearful, we needed to work hard. We have to play well, even in the difficult moments. We have to manage situations, and we definitely have to improve. We have to be better at managing these moments, we have to tackle them with experience. We can't lose courage or become overwhelmed. If you play like that, you run the risk of conceding, and we conceded."
"I have nothing negative to say about the guys who are giving their all in this emergency. We have to be better at managing games and bringing out more character away from home. On a psychological level, we try to work on it and find the right way. We can grow, we have great guys here."
Napoli lost 1-0 to Udinese after Jurgen Ekkelenkamp's long-range strike proved decisive. Noa Lang and Rasmus Hojlund missed clear chances, while Keinan Davis and Nicolo Zaniolo had goals ruled out by VAR and Jakub Piotrowski struck the crossbar. The defeat prevented Napoli from claiming top spot and left them third after AC Milan drew and Inter won. Antonio Conte said the side were too worried and fearful, urged better game management and psychological work, and praised players' efforts amid an ongoing injury crisis. Napoli have now lost four of their first eight away Serie A games.
