Napoli suffered a 2-1 defeat to Empoli. Carlo Ancelotti spoke to Sky Sport after the match and was confused by his team's performance: "It was an unconvincing performance, the team was careless and a little messy. The defeat burns, but it's deserved. To regain the lead we tried to do it individually and not as a team, we were confused."
The manager did not believe the performance was due to turnover in the squad: "The team played poorly, aside from whoever has played less. There was a drop in concentration in general. Now we must think about the next game." In the last five games Napoli has given up goals, and Ancelotti had this to say about that fact: "It's not something that worries me, it's not a defensive problem."
