Allegri: "Napoli, not everything is lost. Fans? When the team wins we're all good..."

Allegri praised his side's response after the 1-1 draw with Lazio, saying there is still time to recover despite being behind in the table.

Massimiliano Allegri addressed the media after Napoli's 1-1 draw against Lazio at the Maradona, expressing gratitude for his players' efforts following two consecutive defeats to Torino and Porto. The manager acknowledged that Lazio had a strong first half but highlighted Napoli's improved second-half performance, noting tactical adjustments including inverting his midfielders to exploit McTominay's runs from crosses.

Allegri sounded an optimistic note ahead of the international break, insisting that "not everything is lost" despite Napoli's position in the table. He drew parallels to his time at Milan, where points lost over a month and a half were later recovered, and stressed the importance of continuing to work with confidence.

The manager emphasized that the squad remains in contention for the Coppa Italia, Champions League, and top-four finish.

On his own situation at Napoli, Allegri expressed contentment, comparing the current challenge to navigating a boat through a storm. He praised the professionalism and seriousness of his coaching staff and called for continued support for the players during this difficult period.
