Napoli coach Antonio Conte was pleased with his team’s performance despite beating Lecce by just a goal in Serie A football on Saturday.
The Naples giants, who were thought to be on course for an easy win. Had to wait until the 73rd minute for a winning goal from Giovanni Di Lorenzo. But Conte said he was pleased with the performance of all his players in the game UFABET
“I have nothing to criticise about the team today. We had 65 per cent possession, 24 shots and 16 corners – Lecce defended very well. But there is no doubt we can attack them.” Conte told DAZN.
“When you attack and can’t score, there’s frustration and anxiety. I have to calm the boys down because I’m sure sooner or later we’ll be able to break through.”
“As players, we all want to take the lead early on. But we know you have to be patient, pass the ball and create chances.”
“Lecce’s 0-6 defeat to Fiorentina came after they were reduced to 10 men. They played well against Udinese, Milan and Inter. This is a quality team that can hurt you on the counter-attack with players like Krstevic and Banda. So we did well not to give them a chance to score.”
