Milinkovic-Savic’s words at the end of Napoli-Cagliari

Napoli beats Cagliari in the Coppa Italia round of 16 and secures passage to the next round. The decisive moment came in the penalty shootout, which ended after a long series with Luvumbo’s miss, as he was hypnotized by Milinkovic-Savic, who also took and scored the seventh penalty of the series.

At the end of the match, the Azzurri goalkeeper, together with Buongiorno, spoke to Mediaset’s microphones. These were the Serbian’s words: “I had never experienced ten penalties before, the important thing is that we advanced to the next round.”

The rocket of a penalty

“The important thing is that I put it in, then how I took it… Surely I hit it better than he did (he says with a smile, referring to Buongiorno, ed.).”

Do you also train to take penalties or just to save them?

“No, just to save them, that’s all. We have good penalty takers, so there’s no need.”

On Cagliari’s goal

“I don’t think it was a mistake, just an unlucky chance—a deflection can happen. I don’t see it that way.”

Will it be a derby against Juventus?

“For me, three points are three points.”
