Quotes
"Right now, there's no point in worrying. We created a lot and made a mistake at the back," Napoli manager Massimiliano Allegri said after their recent 1-0 loss to Venezia FC.
"They defended very well, we didn't capitalize on our chances, even if in the second half it was a different game. We need to be fair, do better, and turn the situation in our favor. On Wednesday, we were disunited; today, we were more focused."
