Napoli failed to get a win for the second consecutive match, as they tied Genoa 1-1 this evening. This was not the result or performance manager Carlo Ancelotti wanted to see from his squad, especially heading into a key Europa League match against Arsenal.
"We encountered some difficulty that I didn't expect. I don't think that the team is focused on Arsenal. The problem is more technical than psychological. For example, at this moment we are defending poorly and you cannot control a match like that. We're having the alarm bells ring and if we play like that in London, it will be difficult. Fortunately, there are still a few days, we have time to get things right.
On the distance from Juventus in the standings: "Could we have stayed closer to them? Yes, we wanted to. We lost many points recently, like in Florence and Turin. But Juve has done something extraordinary. Our goal was to obtain between 80-90 points, continuing like this will be difficult to arrive at 80. We need to wake up. Insigne? He did well in his 30 minutes and is available for Arsenal."
