After the elimination in the Champions League, Napoli’s players are now focused on the upcoming Serie A match against Cagliari. Manager Carlo Ancelotti discussed the impact of the loss to Liverpool in the pre game press conference:”There’s disappointment but also the knowledge that the defeat doesn’t change anything in terms of our ambition. Even at the club’s level everything was handled well and with balance. We have set aside the disappointment and look forward with optimism to the rest of the season. We knew there would be difficulty in the Champions League but we proved we could compete with the top teams in Europe”
Ancelotti is looking to the future:”We’ll play in a competition that is less prestigious than the Champions but that was won by clubs like Manchester United and Atletico in recent years. The group of death gave me the understanding that this team can be a protagonist until the end. Final against Chelsea? That would be intriguing, it would be beatiful to play against them”
