In the fourth round of the Champions League early this morning, Naples drew 0-0 with Frankfurt at home. After the game, Naples captain Di Lorenzo accepted an interview with Sky Sports.

What is your evaluation of this game?

We played very well and were only one goal away. Our accuracy in passing and shooting at the end needs to be improved. It was a tight game and we knew it was a physical team and they did a good job of counterattacking and trying to regroup, but I thought we also did a good job of containing their counterattacks. Therefore, the only regret is that we failed to score and failed to win the game. But based on the performance on the pitch, I think we should have won the game.

Napoli encountered almost no risks in the game. How did you control the key moments in the game? How do you think the new players performed?

We are a team that can control the tempo of the game because we actually have almost no risks, except for two rebounds. On this basis, we need to continue to improve, including the newly joined players, who made important contributions today. The new players are playing well and at first they need to understand the team's tactics, but as time goes by they are gradually integrating into the team.

What aspects should we focus on in the next competition?

As I said just now, we lacked the final pass and shot. It's a pity that we couldn't win here because we deserved to win at home. But we have four rounds of the Champions League left, so we have to try to score as many points as we can and move forward.
