Napoli suffered a 2‑0 defeat against Juventus in Turin, with coach Antonio Conte suspended and Allegri's deputy, Andrea Landucci, commentating after the match. The result left the Neapolitan club in a situation of uncertainty, especially due to the numerous absences due to injuries and the spread of a virus which prevented the presence of some key players, including Hojlund, who was unable to enter the pitch.
During the interview broadcast by DAZN, Landucci acknowledged that Napoli had a good start to the match, with a Lucca shot saved by Vicario, but also underlined the decline in the second half. "We had a bad second half, Juve deserved to win. When you lose you shut up and go home," he said, highlighting the need to remain silent and concentrate on work for the next match on Wednesday. He also mentioned injury management, referring to De Bruyne who had ankle problems and Di Lorenzo, who was replaced because he wasn't feeling well.
Landucci expressed disappointment with the team's overall performance, stating that "everyone could have done better on the pitch" and that the difference between Napoli and Juventus was decisive. He also stated that the club needs to improve, especially in its ability to score and handle the pressure when a player is lost. "We have to do better. Then the whole difference is in conceding or not conceding goals. When you lose players, we all lose. Everyone could have done better on the pitch," he added.
The assistant coach closed the interview by underlining the importance of working hard to recover form and facing the next match with a winning mentality. "The analysis is clear and there is room to talk. They did better than us and won", he concluded, leaving open the prospect of a return to form for Napoli in view of the next Serie A matches.
