Naples, 31 August 2024 - Fabio Pecchia spoke following Napoli vs. Parma on matchday 3 of the Serie A Enilive 2024/25.

“A big game, compliments to my lads. We leave the pitch as winners from the human, professional and technical point of view. But with no points. We faced a side built to compete for the Scudetto, a group that won the title 15 months ago. My lads are young and Kowalski was making his debut, he was born in 2005 and played in the Primavera 2 last year. We were a side with personality and today my boys stepped up. We still wanted to play the game, we built in one sense and took the lead.

We created many chances without giving anything away and in the second half when we went down to 10 men, we had another chance and could have drawn, I don't think it would have been undeserved. I see energy in my lads which is what I asked for, but also great intelligence to want to play. We will learn from this game. Incidents? I won't speak about it, I won't speak about referees, just my lads. There are people to analyse those things, I focus on my team'.
