Udinese-Napoli, Runjaic’s words to Dazn at the end of the match

Udinese’s coach, Kosta Runjaic, spoke to Dazn’s microphones at the end of the match against Napoli, which the Friulian side won 1-0 thanks to a goal by Ekkelenkamp, who repeated his feat from last season.

“A great reaction, I had asked for it. I suffered up close but it was enjoyable. We deserved the win, and it’s important to get it this way also for our energy.”

On performances against the ‘smaller’ teams

“We’ll see, it’s a process, we have many new players and changes. There will be ups and downs. The level is what I expected. I’m happy for the victory, just as I wasn’t after the match against Genoa. It’s also important for the players who have received too much criticism.”

On Zaniolo

“He did a good job today, he fought and scored, unfortunately it was disallowed. He’s an excellent player for us, he’s doing well, he’s in a process of growth. He can do even better, but he’s already connected with the team and with the fans. I’m happy to have him here. National team? That’s not my job, there’s already a great coach who will make his choices.”
