“We were superlative in the opening half-hour, but then didn't manage to maintain that standard, also because Torino managed to make it into a man-on-man battle all over the field," Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti said. 
 
“It was very difficult to free players between the lines under that press, almost impossible if you don't have the players with the right characteristics. If you have a player like Anguissa, you train in a different way. 
 
"Today we needed an exchange so we could send players running into space."
 
The last meeting between Cremonese and Napoli in a league game was on 10 March 1993.
 
The game ended in a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Giovanni Zini which is named after Giovanni Zini, a goalkeeper of Cremonese who died during World War I.
