Press room | Comments after Napoli-Juventus Women After the Juventus Women’s First Team beat Napoli 3-2 on Serie A Women Matchday 20, coach Massimiliano Canzi and goalscorer Lindsey Thomas spoke. LINDSEY THOMAS “It was a really tough game. We knew that Napoli would give their all in a game like this, and it was a huge chance for them to get a big result.
We knew that we had to be ready and put in a good performance. It wasn’t perfect from us, but the important thing at this stage in the season is to take home the points. After a game as tricky as this one, all that matters is the points, and getting closer to our goal of qualifying for the Women’s Champions League.
Two more games are left, and we need to approach them seriously and finish the season in the best way we can. ” MASSIMILIANO CANZI “It was a great game, in which both teams gave their all and played at the same level, and either team could have won it. Napoli have had an incredible campaign, and we have huge respect for them.
We knew we’d come here and come up against an in-form side, and this gives even more value to our win. Qualification for the Champions League isn’t mathematically achieved yet, there are 180 minutes still to play and we’ll have to give our all. That said, today was a hugely important game and the three points are vital.
I have to say that the girls did well today, they were able to hold their nerve in the trickiest moments. We kept going after being pegged back twice, and I’m happy with the personality the group showed. Football isn’t just about those who start the game anymore.
