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"

:tup:

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).

:lol: It's like half-half.

They're quite similar languages though, I'm not fluent in Italian (getting there) but I can still understand a few words here and there of spanish.

I was trying to figure out which he was speaking :D
Well, he was saying mostly Italian words but with the Spanish pronunciation, which makes it all messed up :D

Take an Italian course at university, it helps a lot.

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.

Chelo to Tuttosport:

"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.
