"With Liverpool it's always difficult. It took a game of sacrifice without losing the of playing." Carlo Ancelotti spoke like this after seeing his Napoli against Liverpool, the current champions of Europe. "The game was in the balance, I liked how we faced it - the coach said to Sky Sport - a title for this evening? A team that believes, wants to grow and has a lot of quality. I liked the team a lot when we weren't in control."
Ancelotti then analyzed the game from a technical perspective: "We must be able to do everything. How much did this Napoli grow? Very strong players arrived, that go assembled. Above all everyone must be motivated, and it's not easy, because everyone wants to play in certain games. Even the short bench rules penalizes some players, it's not nice to send them to the stands. I liked the dirty work of Napoli, the team has to learn to do everything, and we don't always succeed. Will we see a match like this in Italy? It's not easy, they make you give tremendous effort. I asked Di Lorenzo if he ever played in the Champions League. The first half went well. What did I say to Klopp? That if he loses here in Napoles he eventually wins the Champions League, I reassured him," concluded Ancelotti.
