Napoli's Serie A title hopes suffered a setback as they narrowly lost 2-1 to promoted Como. An early error by defender Amir Rrahmani gifted Como the lead before Giacomo Raspadori equalized for Napoli. Despite opportunities, Napoli couldn't secure a win and fell behind again in the second half to Assane Diao's striking goal. Coach Antonio Conte noted the team's mental challenges and pressure, stressing the need for growth amid a challenging phase. With Inter leading the table, Napoli's position is under threat as both Atalanta and Inter are pursuing their title ambitions.
...on a mental level we showed cracks, just like in the last three games where we always got caught up... we're playing with this pressure we brought on ourselves.
This was absolutely not expected. Now we have to face it in the best way, trying to analyze why in the second half they had more hunger and desire.
I think the boys are really giving their best but we need to make a path and give time to grow, not only from a technical point of view but also in terms of mentality.
Napoli's title hopes suffered another blow as they were beaten 2-1 by promoted Como at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on Sunday.
