We need to push beyond our limits, go out there and give our absolute best.\u201d Matteo Politano spoke at the press conference on the eve of our Matchday 4 Champions League match against Porto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got a tough match ahead of us. We\u2019re missing some key players, but we can\u2019t use that as an excuse. We must go out there and give everything, as this is a crucial match for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPorto are a top side &#8211; they attack in numbers and move the ball around really well. There will be moments when we\u2019ll need to defend strongly before unleashing our own quality in the attacking phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll need to be especially mindful of our defensive work, as we\u2019ve let in too many goals relative to our overall performance levels. When we concede, the responsibility lies with the entire team, not just the guys at the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRight now, we\u2019re fragile as a team. We\u2019re lacking some of the ruthlessness we had in seasons gone by. We\u2019ve got to stick together &#8211; the coaching staff and we players &#8211; to get a result, starting tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got to focus on the here and now. Unfortunately, the past is in the past. I\u2019ve won a lot with this team, alongside my team-mates who are currently in the squad, but we must keep giving our all and proving our worth on the pitch every single time we go out there and play.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Azzurri forward spoke to the media on the eve of Napoli\u2019s Champions League match \u201cWe\u2019re the only ones who can drag ourselves out of this difficult period.
