Juventus coach Conte explains tactics for Napoli draw

Juventus boss Antonio Conte explained his tactics for their 3-3 draw with Napoli.

Conte was without the suspended Claudio Marchisio and surprised everyone with a modified 3-5-2 system.

“We tried to mirror Napoli, as Christian Maggio makes the difference for them and I wanted him to go head-to-head with Estigarribia, who had an extraordinary game. Pepe is a very intelligent player tactically and had a little trouble finding his position in the middle, but then became devastating.

“We had prepared a match with Mirko Vucinic against Salvatore Aronica and Alessandro Matri on Paolo Cannavaro. We didn’t do well in the first half, as we often hesitated in giving them service. After the break the two strikers had much more of an impact.”
