Quotes
“I am disappointed with the defeat," Juventus manager Thiago Motta said after his side's loss to Napoli.
"We had a good first half, causing problems for our opponent by pressing well, in the second half the idea was to be effective in the first phase of pressing, and otherwise to regroup, defend well, recover the ball and go forward but we were not able to do that.
"We were not good at reacting and regaining control of the game. We absolutely have to do that in the next match.”
