and even against celtic with conte. (we won those matches though.)
high pressing and quick running is almost completely missing from serie a teams' tactical weapons. sometimes napoli and atalanta play that way, the others won't. it's only natural to suffer against the unknown. english teams wouldn't play against tactically organized opposition too much, so a couple of years ago we beat city twice, we progressed against tottenham and we outplayed manure twice (bottled the 2nd one at the end though).
