Intro:

Reaction after Napoli advanced to the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League after drawing 2-2 with Wolfsburg on Thursday (23rd April) to win their last eight tie 6-3 on aggregate.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (Italian) Napoli coach Rafael Benitez:

"We saw Wolfsburg's quality in this match, also in the previous one but mostly in this one, and we should have changed something in the second half. Our players moved well so that we could retrieve the ball fast and attack them, we scored twice and it's unfortunate we conceded the goals, but I think that the result of the first leg was a big factor in this game. But still I liked how my team reacted to the first half and I am happy to go through in this tournament".

SOUNDBITE (Italian) Napoli coach Rafael Benitez (on losing against Athletic Bilbao in the Champions League qualifying):

"When you have the chance to play in the biggest competition, then you must get that, and we couldn't do it, for many reasons. Now we have to think that this is still an important tournament which allows you to show what you can do on an international stage. It's a shame we missed that chance but it is what it is, I think we made some mistakes and we paid for them, now we are in a different moment and we have to make the most out of it".
