Frosinone lost 3-0 against Napoli, but coach Massimiliano Alvini asked the fans not to downplay the work done so far. After the match, on DAZN's microphone he underlined that the Azzurri's victory was well deserved, although he found the final result too large. "Napoli's victory is deserved, but the score was excessive. There is room for improvement; we were not effective on some choices. We are usually more sharp and make better choices. If we make certain mistakes, their defenders punish us," he said.
Alvini insisted that Frosinone cannot take steps backwards after a defeat of this type. "We cannot afford to lose the self-efficacy that we have built in the first few days. The team has its identity and its playing principles; we must save our confidence," he declared. With 10 points, the team is still level with Napoli in the standings, but the coach reiterated the importance of maintaining motivation and not letting a single result get him down.
On the penalty that gave Napoli the advantage, Alvini expressed a balanced opinion. Hojlund was awarded the free kick, which was then converted by De Bruyne after a VAR replay. "The penalty was a little soft, but the referee Feliciani played a good match and is having a good season. If there weren't sensational episodes, I won't talk about it; maybe today's one is a little soft, but that's okay", said the coach.
The coach closed his speech by recalling that the team must continue to believe in their abilities and work on their weak points. "The path we are on is important; we must maintain self-efficacy and not allow a defeat like this to slow us down," he concluded. Frosinone, after the defeat, will have to review their strategy to try to recover points in the next matches.
