Serie A 2024-25: Napoli edges win against Genoa but Conte not satisfied with performance

The Hindu  

Napoli manager Antonio Conte was far from satisfied despite his side’s narrow Serie A win at Genoa on Saturday, making it clear that the performance of his players did not meet his expectations. Napoli secured a 2-1 win thanks to goals from Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Amir Rrahmani in the first half, along with a heroic effort from keeper Alex Meret in the second as Genoa dominated much of the latter part of the match. “I have players who know where they need to improve, and they will go home disappointed today at almost throwing away three points.” Napoli is back at the top of Serie A, but that might be temporary as Atalanta plays Empoli on Sunday and is one point behind. After the game, I told the boys that if we continue to do as we did in the second half, we will win more games,“ he told reporters.
