Napoli coach Calzona unhappy with Udinese draw

Napoli coach Francesco Calzona admits their 1-1 draw with Udinese wasn't good enough.

Victor Osimhen had Napoli ahead on Monday night before Isaac Success' equaliser.

"When you are up against a five-man defence, you need to move them around, or it's just a brick wall. We moved it slowly and predictably," Calzona told DAZN.

“We did better in the second half, moved the ball more quickly, created chances. It's a pity that for the third game running we saw victory slip away."

“When the game gets rough, that is not our style. I even asked us to keep the ball in midfield, as I knew they could cause us problems by just pumping crosses into the box. We were a bit chaotic, which we are not good at and need to avoid.

“We had to score that second goal, as this season we always seem to concede, so doubling the lead would've made it more comfortable."
