Benfica 2-0 Napoli, Buongiorno: We lacked energy, we'll see why | OneFootball

Napoli lost 2-0 against Benfica, at the home of the Portuguese team, putting their qualification for the Champions League playoffs in doubt. Numerous injuries are draining energy from Antonio Conte's team, which, after the home victory against Juventus, was forced to surrender to the squad of José Mourinho, former coach of Inter and Roma among the Italian teams.

Benfica-Napoli 2-0, Buongiorno to Prime Video: “We lacked energy, we will see what went wrong”

Alessandro Buongiorno, central defender of the Azzurri, commented on the result to Prime Video: “We knew it would be a tough match, we lacked a bit of energy that we used in the cycle of important matches we played. We will try to understand what didn't work with the coach. At the beginning, we lacked this energy, we tried to hold on and continue attacking but obviously when you expose yourself too much, you risk conceding more goals.

Surely this is a heated stadium, we are weakened by some injuries and we come from a period where we had to spend a lot with Roma, Juventus, and Atalanta. Now it's important to look ahead to try to always improve.”
