"We faced a strong Napoli, we knew it. We could have performed better on the two goals. It was a well-played match by both teams. They played better defensively and deservedly won."
"The referee did a great job, and the refereeing team did a great job. I have to analyse the game. We've been conceding goals a bit too easily in the last period, and we need to improve. Tonight's defeat should be seen as an opportunity to get back on our feet. Fortunately, it was a cup match, and although we're disappointed, we have to get back to the league now."
"That we had favourable situations. We handled the ball quite well, we needed to attack the box better. If you make a mistake like with the first goal, we could definitely defend better. When you consistently concede two goals for three games that you could have done better, you have to figure out how to do better."
AC Milan exited the Supercoppa Italiana following a 2-0 defeat to Napoli at the King Saud University Stadium. Napoli took the lead just before halftime through David Neres and doubled the advantage via Rasmus Hojlund. The loss follows a recent Coppa Italia elimination by Lazio, leaving Serie A as the only remaining competition. Milan failed to match Napoli's defensive performance and appeared less determined on the night. Defensive mistakes involving Koni De Winter and goalkeeper Mike Maignan contributed to both goals. The team must reduce easy concessions, improve defending and attacking the box, and treat the defeat as an opportunity to refocus on the league.
