VENEZIA FC-NAPOLI: POST MATCH

At the end of the Venezia FC vs. Napoli match, valid for Matchday 29 of the 2024/25 Serie A Enilive, which ended with a 0-0 result, the arancioneroverde coach Eusebio Di Francesco and defender Fali Candé analyzed the match as follows.

Eusebio Di Francesco:
"Despite some changes made in January, the team has absorbed the playing principles I wanted very well. If there is one aspect we need to improve on, it is our ability to capitalize on the large number of chances we create. It is true that today, in some situations, we suffered from Napoli's offensive pressure, but at the same time, we built a lot, responding blow for blow with determination, a spirit of sacrifice, and strong teamwork, while also producing high-quality plays. I am satisfied with the performance, even though it is now important for us to find a win.
Beyond the chances we created, the team’s attitude was positive throughout the match: we pressed Napoli high, fully aware of the risk of leaving space, but with courage and determination.
Now we face the challenge against Bologna, and we must take the field with the same mentality we showed today. We believe in ourselves, just like our fans do, and we prove it through our performances."

Fali Candé:
"We showed great courage against a top-level team like Napoli. Our performance was really positive: we created chances where we could have even scored to secure the win, but we will gladly take this draw against such a strong team.
Fitting into this team was simple and immediate, thanks to fantastic teammates and coach Di Francesco. His teachings are helping me grow, allowing me to gain more and more experience and confidence on the pitch, match after match.
Lukaku is an extraordinary striker, with impressive physicality. Today was a real battle on the field, and I believe I did a good job containing him. Every week, I face high-level forwards, and this continuous challenge helps me grow constantly."
