“We expressed ourselves well out there, but in some situations, our possession was a bit lacking in intent, which is something I don’t like. We need to be more direct and decisive," Napoli manager Francesco Calzona said after his side's win over Juventus.
“I could see at the end of the first half that I had players on the bench who were ready to come on with desire and conviction. The lads already on the pitch were giving their all. These are indications that show us that we’re working in the right direction.
“Juventus did well to react and we did well to try to win even after their equaliser. I told the players to play calmly and show their qualities. You can’t perform miracles in ten days, so full credit to the players, who are trying to rediscover their identity.”
Head-to-Head
Torino secured a 3-0 win over Napoli in their last meeting in Serie A which was on 7 January 2024 at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
