ITALIAN CUP: GERVINHO CONGRATULATED BY BENITEZ
Gervinho delivered an outstanding performance in the Italian Cup semi-final first leg against Napoli on Wednesday, scoring two crucial goals to give AS Roma a significant advantage.
After the match, Napoli’s coach, Rafael Benitez, displayed sportsmanship and praised Gervinho’s performance, as well as acknowledging the coaching prowess of Rudi Garcia.
“It was a high-level match, and I was pleased with my team’s reaction. We displayed many positive aspects, and it’s unfortunate to have conceded a late goal. I’m confident for the comeback, as a 1-0 victory will be sufficient. Congratulations to Gervinho for his performance. Additionally, Garcia is undoubtedly a great coach. Calcio benefits from individuals like him,” Benitez conceded.
The return leg is scheduled for next Wednesday, promising another intense encounter between the two sides.
