Rome, 8 Nov. (LaPresse) – “A tough pitch, a strong side. I went into the changing room today and it was dead quiet. We had a great first half, whilst in the second half – in the early stages – they overwhelmed us, but that was to be expected. I’m pleased the team is disappointed today. We’re proud of these lads. Coming here at a time like this is never easy; we have to be satisfied. I want to see more smiles – as far as I’m concerned, the performance was there today too.” So said Gennaro Gattuso, Lazio’s manager, to DAZN after the draw with Napoli. “Frattesi is a bit of a hothead; he goes mad. He feels left out of the game; he wants to get on the ball. In Europe, there are few players who break into the box like him. We’re working on bursts of speed to create chances like that. He should do it more often, but he gets fixated on wanting to get a touch. Today, even in the first half, with those runs into space, we could have scored a few more goals. We’ll take the performance; I’m satisfied,” he added. “Noslin? He’s fierce; when he presses, he always does so with great intensity. He’s in good physical shape, and I liked him in that position too. He’s become more organised compared to this summer during the friendlies,” he concluded.
