Thiago Motta: 'Genoa in control'

Both sides had big chances to win it at the Stadio San Paolo, Andrea Pinamonti denied by a Kalidou Koulibaly goal-line clearance and Ionut Radu’s desperate save on Eljif Elmas.

“I don’t know if it was our best game so far, but I am very happy with the team spirit shown tonight. I try to talk to the players and let them know this is the path forward,” the former PSG man told DAZN after a 0-0 draw.

“We controlled the game. At the end of the day I’m happy, because we could’ve scored right up to the end. In our minds, the objective is always to win, but against a side like Napoli, it’s a good result. I am convinced that if we continue with this approach, the victories will come”.
