In the late afternoon of 24 October, after the 3-3 draw between Napoli and Roma, coach Massimiliano Allegri spoke directly to the microphones of DAZN, explaining the reasons for his expulsion and his reflections on the result.
Allegri stated that, at the moment of the fourth goal, the referee requested his warning and sent him off without having committed any infringement. "I hadn't done anything, but they threw me out. Every time I move, I get thrown out. I see others come onto the pitch and turn the game around," he explained, adding that for the next match he will prefer to remain on the bench. He thanked goalkeeper Saccani for his performance and praised the players for the spirit they showed.
Despite the defeat, Allegri stressed that the team played well against an in-form Roma, and that the third goal could not have been improved upon. "Tonight the team played a good game against a strong Roma. We couldn't have done more on the third goal, but by playing with this spirit we will move up the table," he said.
Napoli, who are currently in second position in the table, have shown that they still have room for improvement, especially in the defensive area, where Allegri has already started to modify the structure to favor the attack. The coach expressed confidence in the young players and new arrivals, but reiterated the importance of maintaining discipline on the pitch.
For the next Serie A matchday, Allegri has planned a more aggressive strategy, with the aim of recovering the two points lost in this match. The club will return to the field with the same determination, trying to consolidate its leading position and continue to challenge its rivals for the title race.
