“From the first day of training, we found that we were a united family and we proved that to the end today. The players who came off the bench gave their all too, we are really happy,” Saelemaekers told DAZN Italia.
“I always try to give my best on the field, the fans see that, and they appreciate my efforts. The most important thing is the team spirit, we are a real family here. I will thank Christian for the assist by going golfing together!”
This result means that Napoli are now caught at the top of the Serie A table on 12 points by both Milan and Roma.
“The season is very long, we work hard all week to get results like this, so we must take it one game at a time and see where we end up.”
“Incredible, the sacrifices we made, especially defending after the red card, it was just top,” Pulisic told DAZN Italia.
“The coach did really well to get the best out of every player here, we have a lot of quality in the squad and we can prove that on the field now.”
