Grosso: Naples deserves its victory, but I like Sassuolo s spirit and fighting spirit

In the first round of Serie A held early this morning, Sassuolo lost 0-2 to Napoli at home. Sassuolo coach Grosso was interviewed after the game.

Sassuolo is a new Serie A team, while Napoli was the Serie A champion last season. We had a very difficult game, and our opponents were a strong and mature team, and their performance was very, very good. But we strive to show competitiveness in the game, and we can certainly do more, but I like this spirit, the willingness to compete in the game, the motivation we maintain with one less person, and the persistence of our ability to create a good scoring opportunity in the 90th minute.

Naples finally won 2-0

This Napoli conceded few goals, and they are very strong. If we want to do something extraordinary, we need to do our best, and Naples cannot be in the best shape. But on the contrary, Naples played a great game today, and they were a strong team who deservedly left the stadium with victory. But I am still proud of the performance of my players, who have shown great spirit and fighting spirit, which is the basis for our future development.

For your two goals conceded, can the team do better and avoid such goals conceded?

I think our forward trident played a great game and showed great dedication. It was indeed difficult, we could have launched the offense better and more frequently. We lost our chances in the first half on a set piece, and then we lost the ball due to lack of concentration and we could have done better when the opponent crossed. We continued to balance the field afterwards, but we unfortunately conceded the second goal on another set piece.

But do you still think Sassuolo is doing well?

I insist on the fact that we always maintain high fighting spirit and compete to the end. We know we will face a very strong team, but our characteristics will play an important role in future games and help us achieve our intended goals.

Will this game change your transfer plan?

We have been able to have a clear idea before, but it is still the case. We know how to build this team and know what else to do.
