NAPLES, AUGUST 29, 2026 \u2013 Napoli are looking for consistency after their 2-0 win at Genoa. On Sunday, August 30, at 6:30 PM, the Azzurri will host Como at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.<\/p>\n
The match will mark Massimiliano Allegri's home debut as Napoli coach. The coach has asked his team to be focused against a well-organized side boasting technical quality.<\/p>\n
\u00ab"It will be exciting to play in front of our home crowd. Como is a new club in Italian football and has achieved extraordinary things," Allegri said during the pre-match press conference.<\/p>\n
The coach hasn't yet finalized the starting lineup. The selection process will be finalized on Sunday morning, also taking into account the opponent's characteristics.<\/p>\n
According to Allegri, the performances from the Genoa trip can't be a benchmark. Every match requires different solutions, and against Como, "great intelligence and patience" will be needed.<\/p>\n
The coach ruled out the possibility of the match being reduced to a personal confrontation with Cesc Fabregas. Allegri recognized the Spanish coach's value, including him among the young coaches destined to succeed in Italy or abroad.<\/p>\n
Allegri said he was satisfied with the squad he has at his disposal. Napoli must also respect the squad limits and will only consider any transfers if there are players capable of improving the team's technical level.<\/p>\n
Noa Lang received positive reviews for his introduction against Genoa. David Neres is regaining his best form, while Beno\u00eet Badiashile will need more time after training sparingly in the final stages of his Chelsea spell.<\/p>\n
Regarding the outgoing transfer market, the coach only foresees the possible departure of some young players. Allegri also described Rafael Leao's sale as a decision linked to normal transfer market dynamics.<\/p>\n
Rasmus Hojlund and Lorenzo Lucca remain the main options for the center forward position. Allegri highlighted the two forwards' willingness to sacrifice and work hard for the team.<\/p>\n
Napoli enters Matchday 2 on the back of a late victory in Genoa. Kevin De Bruyne broke the deadlock in the 82nd minute, while Antonio Vergara made it 2-0 five minutes later.<\/p>\n
The coach finally expressed a positive opinion on the rule changes introduced to increase effective playing time. The immediate objective, however, remains the match against Como and a second consecutive victory.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
