"If we are like this in London it becomes difficult, luck is that we are four days away. No, it is not normal, it is abnormal for us to play like this, we have to go back to doing things right, and the basis is always defense ”. No, Carlo Ancelotti didn't like Napoli against Genoa, also in view of Thursday's match against Arsenal.

WHAT DOES NOT GO - "No, I don't think the thought of Arsenal weighed, we didn't talk about it at all - it was Ancelotti's analysis on Sky microphones -. We knew of the difficulties we could meet in Empoli, a little less tonight. In percentage it is difficult to say when the concentration is lowered, physically we are very well, so it is easier for me to think of fixing things from a technical-tactical point of view: at this moment we are defending badly, 11 against 10 also happened, and this does not allow us to have control of the game ".

THE DEFENSIVE PHASE - "There was little forward pressure and this does not allow even the midfielders to have the security to press forward, you always do things halfway, so you hurt them", is the analysis of the Napoli coach. "Especially with the defenses closed difficulties we have always found them, but we could recover the ball much faster, managing to have a constant attack, while in this way we have to do back and forth that is not in our ropes. Defending better means also better attacking ".
