The Italian Napoli made an advance concession to the Lisbon Benfica in the away match of the sixth round of the UEFA Champions League.

Benfica - Napoli 2:0 Video of goals and review of the Champions League match After the end of the game, Partenopei head coach Antonio Conte commented on the performance of the powerful team.

“Today the truth is that we have not been brilliant - since the very first crisis. Benfica played on Friday, and we played this week in the evening, and after a series of matches with great physical expenditures.

I talked about energy in advance, knowing that at a distance you will have to pay for it. It was important for us today. The supers were more aggressive. We even wanted them like this, but right away at the starting whistle we failed the pressing, missed a throw behind our backs, and, perhaps, a whole lot of lads squealed.

If you accumulate so many matches, you will inevitably pay for it. Now you need to fall in love. We turn around late at night, Thursday is a day off, and on Friday we get ready for the upcoming championship match.

The boys were given all they deserved, they tried to give everything they could, but this generosity was not accompanied by quick decisions. I don’t know what to say about it - the stench was everywhere.

I checked the statistics: the opponents shot five times, the team - two. Maybe we trimmed the ball more. Benfica didn't let us down, we didn't underestimate them. Underestimating your opponent means being stupid and over-zealous. We know that Benfica is a wonderful team with wonderful people.

I can’t call it a short time ago, even though today’s boys gave everything they wanted. There was a noticeable difference in physical and mental freshness. It’s early and late in the morning, it’s not only physical, but also mental, it makes itself known. This is how you get caught, you need to know.

We have three tournaments plus the Super Cup - this can be expanded, just to expand the warehouse.

We tried to earn money by signing nine newcomers, but seven of them were injured. It’s really important for us to compete in two tournaments at once, because there are few of us. Vice knew that, it's not new.

1/8 Champions League? Before today’s match, it was difficult to talk about reaching the playoffs, the success rate of the teams among Liza’s champions, and what surprises are possible in the future,” said the Italian footballer.

In the upcoming tour, the Italian Napoli will travel to the Danish Copenhagen.
