DBasia.news – The coach, Carlo Ancelotti highlight Napoli’s ability to convert opportunities into goals. How not, it has been twice in a row in Serie A Napoli failed to score.
In the last 23 weeks, Napoli played 0-0 at Fiorentina headquarters. Latest, Lorenzo Insigne and colleagues have to bite the fingers because they were held to a 0-0 draw by Torino at the San Paolo on week 24, Sunday (02/18/2019) early morning hrs.
Indeed, before going against Torino, Napoli had first failed in the last 32 of the Europa League. Visiting FC Zuerich’s headquarters, Napoli successfully shaved the hosts 3-1. However, bad report cards in two consecutive domestic league matches made Ancelotti furious with the sharpness of his squad.
“We have difficulty scoring goals, as happened when we were against Fiorentina. We have played with full focus, motivation, determination. But, it is very unacceptable to have 18 chances to score in the last two games, but no goals have been created,” Ancelotti told Sky Sport Italia.
Ancelotti was right that Napoli had many opportunities in the last two Serie A matches. Against Fiorentina, a total of 13 shots were released, with 4 of them heading towards goal. While against Torino, Napoli was able to release 26 trials with 9 of them on target.
“It is very clear that we need to train for final finishing, crossing, movement and decision making. But, I am against anyone who says Napoli does not show good football. We just do not change the chances of being a goal,” explained the former AC Milan coach.
“Everyone in this team wants to do better and we practice, but we need to see things in detail. Because, from my experience, this team has played well. This result is disappointing because if you play badly, you feel win when getting a draw. If we play well and don’t win, we don’t blame anyone but ourselves.”
Improved aspects of the attack, especially the finishing touches, are needed by Napoli to get them back on the winning track. Not without articles, twice held a draw to make the distance Napoli with Juventus at the top of the standings widened.
At present, Napoli, who sits in second place, collected 45 points, at 9 points from ‘The Old Lady’. Given this condition, Ancelotti remains optimistic that Napoli are still able to compete to undermine the dominance of Juventus in Serie A.
“We are in a good position, evidenced by the appearance of determination, concentration. You might not think that we are not just seeing the final results, but I can say that we are paying attention.”
“This result was obtained because of our own mistakes, we needed a more precise, accurate, and better cross. Not only the attackers, because the cross started from the collaboration. All players had to train it, there was no point just focusing on the line. just ahead, “concluded Ancelotti.
