Post-match reaction after the Supercoppa final

After the game, Vincenzo Italiano said, “We gave it a good go and tried all we could against a side that played brilliantly today. In reality, we came close to equalising with that header from Lewis, but it’s clear that Napoli deserved to win. These are important experiences, great occasions to be involved in, and they help the Club, team, and staff to grow. Our development is continuous and is aided by competitions such as this one. No regrets; the boys gave it their all, and we move on and focus on what’s next.”

Torbjørn Heggem commented, “We were up against a top side. Unfortunately, we weren’t at our best. I’m proud of the team and my teammates, but we didn’t play like we know we can. Maybe we felt tired, having had a day less rest than Napoli. But we’re not going to make any excuses, this is football. Now, we need to keep pushing, analyse this game, and understand where we went wrong so we can do better next time.”

The Rossoblù will train again on Wednesday morning, as they start prep for #BFCSassuolo.
