Club president of "Napoli" Aurelio De Laurentiis did not spare criticism for his team's players and coach after the first UEFA Champions League quarterfinal match against Madrid's "Real".
On Wednesday night at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium, Zinedine Zidane's team outscored the Italians with a 3-1 result, even though they conceded a goal at the beginning of the match.
After the match, the "Napoli" leader stated that the "Real" team did not display good gameplay, and they won because his team's players were not fully focused on playing.
"Today, our guys lacked Neapolitan character. Only Insigne showed that he wanted to play. He scored a truly amazing goal. I didn't see our team's players on the pitch. They were just watching how "Real" played, even though they did not show good gameplay," - A. De Laurentiis did not hesitate to criticize.
"In Naples, we will try to make a comeback, but if "Real" scores at least one goal, I can't imagine that the players who were on the pitch today would play better.
I don't want to make decisions, but I think today too many bad decisions were made. Sarri could have changed tactics, but he didn't. I really didn't understand his decisions," - concluded the "Napoli" president.
The return match in Naples will take place on March 7th.
