"We tried to do everything we possibly could this evening against a team that overperformed, with Neres having an amazing game,"
"Napoli put in a fantastic performance. We gave everything we had, but were unable to raise our level to match them. It's a pity, but these are the games that help a team grow. It's a pity, but we lost to a truly great performance from our opponents. I have no regrets tonight, because the lads gave their all."
"He had a hiccup, but that changed nothing. He cares so much about this club, it's like he has the Bologna colours tattooed on his skin. It's never easy to reach the final. We work on those errors, so that we can improve in the future."
Bologna were beaten 2-0 by Napoli in the Supercoppa Italiana final in Riyadh, with David Neres scoring in each half. The match was Bologna's first appearance in the single-match showpiece after their semi-final penalty win over Inter. Vincenzo Italiano acknowledged Napoli's superior performance and said Bologna gave everything but could not raise their level to match the champions. Italiano singled out Neres's strong game and defended goalkeeper Federico Ravaglia after a loose pass led to Napoli's second goal, calling the mistake a hiccup and stressing the squad will work on errors to improve.
