Lobotka Shines as Napoli Controls the Game: Insights from Coach Cesc.

Later on, Cesc admitted that Napoli had a superior lineup.

On the match:

"A penalty that was a bit so-so, but they gave it and in the end, that's it. Afterwards, however, we saw a good Napoli, quality players who raise the level. Ours is missing this thing a bit, the players who come in have to make the difference. We are young guys, we are a bit too good in my opinion, we have to be smarter. But generally speaking, we are on the right path."

How are these football values ​​transmitted? What do you think of Stanislav Lobotka?

"Lobotka is a superlative player, I also spoke to him after the match. I can play with eleven Lobotkas in football, my game plan was to control him defensively, I put Nico Paz on him. However, after 60 minutes he was a bit tired, for me he is a champion and if he won the championship for me a large percentage was due to him.

"Project? Many hours working and analyzing football. This is a world where they judge you if you win or lose. I am very lucky, they gave me the freedom to do this project. Many new players have arrived, we are only at the beginning."

Did you notice a difference in your men between the first and second half?

"I think I saw a great Como for 60 minutes not 45, and a good Napoli for 15 minutes and a great Napoli after the third goal. I wanted the team to be a little more forward, to press and recover balls, that's why I put Sergi Roberto full-back and Gabrielloni, Belotti and Cutrone up front.

"That's why I said: 'Centre, cross, cross'. The team must understand that we are not Barcelona, ​​we must understand the various phases of the game, this takes time. We must improve, work with the players and be calm after the third goal."
