Napoli head coach Antonio Conte commented on Giovanni di Lorenzo receiving a red card in the Champions League match against Manchester City. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The match took place on Thursday. Napoli's captain was forced to leave the field in the 21st minute of the game.
As a result, the visiting coach had to substitute Kevin De Bruyne with defender Matias Olivera. The Italian champions spent most of the game defending but had no chance to earn points.
In the second half, Manchester City scored twice. Conte said in an interview with TNT Sports: "If a red card is given in the 20th minute, the game completely changes.
This sending off ruined the game. I don't know whether the referee's decision was right or wrong.
We just had to accept this decision." Manchester City's victory was secured by goals from Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku in the 56th and 65th minutes. With this result, the visiting team won the match 2-0.
