"I'm happy for the team, it comes from a particular moment where we left a lot of players behind at home and we can't afford to fail anymore," Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti said after their win over Sampdoria.
"When more than one thing happens to you, you adapt to that situation and having a strong reaction is always difficult, it was a liberating goal today. It wasn't easy, Sampdoria showed up with a fairly defensive and compact behavior, finding spaces is never easy.
"We played a good game, we always built well - showing a good quality up to the edge of the area, creating important chances. We also did well defensively when marking as they counterattacked, they were very good."
The last meeting between Bologna and Napoli in the league was on 28 October 2021.
Napoli proved too strong for Bologna as they ran out 3-0 winners in a match that took place at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona.
