Neres to Sky: "Big win, I just want to play, position doesn't matter" | OneFootball

Napoli returns in great form after the international break. They do so thanks to a fantastic victory against Atalanta, in Palladino's debut on the bench. The Azzurri were especially the protagonists of a spectacular first half, in which they created and scored a lot, and practically gave nothing away to La Dea. The absolute star of the evening was David Neres, scorer of the first two goals, chosen tonight instead of Politano on the right. The Brazilian spoke at the end of the match to Sky's microphones.

Napoli-Atalanta, Neres' words in the post-match interview with Sky

Tonight Antonio Conte can smile again after a November that was anything but happy for Napoli. After three matches without scoring, the Azzurri return to victory, at the Maradona, against Raffaele Palladino's Atalanta, in his first match in charge of La Dea. The coach from Lecce wins thanks to his choices, in particular the decision to start both Lang and Neres, both of whom scored. In particular, the Brazilian, man of the match, was the architect of the brace that put Napoli two goals ahead. These are also the first two goals this season for the former Ajax player, who spoke at the end of the match to Sky Sport.

“It was a very important victory, we have to look ahead and send a signal of consistency. Do I prefer to play in front of goal? Yes, but I prefer to play anywhere on the pitch. Obviously, I have more chances to score when I’m closer to the goal.”

Francesco Landi
