Not sure why, he was acting as a wing back quite a lot of the time and preventing Maggio from doing anything the entire game. Kept him quiet, and put him under a lot of pressure (I think he might have received a yellow card).
Conte: "I remain convinced that Maggio is Napoli's secret: I wanted to stop him + we managed to do it because Pepe + Estigarribia were great"
I didn't really see Pepe as involved with Maggio though, he seemed to be covering for any of the defenders that had gone forward (Lichtsteiner, particularly).
I liked how he ran-down, pressured and harassed Lavezzi, and fouled him after one of our corners where Lavezzi tried to instigate a counter, which is all Napoli is capable of of course, counter-attacks, not football. Really showed grit and determination.
"In the squad there are 25 starters, you must give 100% in training, My goal? i dedicate it to the family and my girlfriend. I still can not believe I'm living a dream...In Naples we have played against so many people . .. The mission now is to stay unbeaten and first.
