Max Allegri says Napoli’s squad is stretched ahead of their Champions League matches, citing the absence of Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa as an additional midfield loss. He also says the team has limited options in midfield, noting that Napoli have “only four midfielders” available. Allegri frames the situation as a challenge created by player unavailability rather than tactics alone.
Allegri links his comments to upcoming selection decisions for his own side. He says that for the next match he has four midfielders available, with three expected to start. In parallel, he comments on Arsenal’s performance, saying Mikel Arteta has “sorted out” the Arsenal defence. Across the coverage, outlets describe the same overall message: depleted midfield resources for Napoli, and defensive organization from Arsenal as a key factor.
Both sources report Allegri’s remarks in similar terms, with brief differences in emphasis: Football Italia highlights the specific loss of Zambo Anguissa, while Yahoo Sports repeats the broader points about Napoli’s midfield numbers and Allegri’s own midfield availability, alongside his assessment of Arsenal’s defensive solidity.
