The Italian Antonio Conte, the head coach of Napoli, praised his players' performance following the goalless draw against Como, in the match held at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium as part of the Italian league, confirming that the match was of a high level of intensity and competitiveness between two brave teams that played in an open attacking style.

Conte said: "I watched a match played at a very high pace. They can argue about the penalty incident, but in the second half, we deserved something more. Many think Como is just a small team because of its name, but it is a real team that delivers great performances. I congratulate them and congratulate my team because we put in a serious performance despite the difficulties and the injuries of some players."

The coach spoke about the performance of the duo Elmas and Gutierrez, saying: "Elmas and Gutierrez delivered wonderful performances filled with effort. We pressed high and tried to regain possession quickly, and they did the same. It was a European-style match where neither team retreated. I am happier today than in some previous victories because I saw a reaction from a real team."

Regarding the statements of Cesc Fabregas, the coach of Como, who said his team deserved to win, Conte responded: "Como played very well, but let's not forget that they recently won against Juventus too. They are a team that is constantly developing. If we talk about the result, I don't remember any real save from Vania. The result is fair overall; they were better in the first half, and we were stronger in the second."

Conte concluded his statements by discussing Lukaku's condition, saying: "I don't know exactly; you should ask the doctors, but he is working hard to recover from a serious injury. His presence with us is very important for the team and for him personally. We are happy to have him, and we will be even happier when he returns to the pitch."
