The coach of Napoli, Antonio Conte, reacted to the team’s victory in the 18th round of the Italian championship against Venezia (1:0).
“It felt like the opponent's goal was enchanted. We dominated possession, made 25 shots on goal, missed a penalty, and hit the crossbar. I would not have been surprised if we had even lost under such circumstances. They had two very fast forwards who could have caused us problems, but Alex Meret was exceptional.
I have already said that I will never agree to minimal goals, but at the same time we must understand where we start from and what the club's goal is. Accumulating 41 points after 18 rounds, with all due respect, is more than anyone could have expected,” Conte is quoted by Football Italia.
