"They will never convince me not to expect important things from the players. Then we will see our path and our ambition but we will always try to get the most against anyone".
As' Luciano Spalletti, Napoli coach. "I don't think we're missing anything, we know our path, I expect to see the conviction I've been talking about for a while, that of knowing we're strong. It's clear that if we look to the future, if something happens to complete the squad we'll do it but the players should know that I'm not missing anything to follow our path and being us is beautiful, we start strong with the intention of arriving strong".
Spalletti also responded to the fans' expectations: “They want to win – he said – and they are right, we also want to win and having the fans again allows us to look their passion in the eyes and then we will consequently ask ourselves if we are doing our best or not to honor it.
We need to start from this, I spoke about it with the players, Naples is not a place like all the others but we have to be able to tolerate thousands of eyes with the pressure on us and we have to be at the level of those eyes. If someone thinks they are not being watched, the only way is not to play for Naples".

What you call a disturbance, Insigne crushes with his little foot or kicks it as he does on the edge of the area and puts it wherever he likes”.
Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti expresses himself in this way on the Azzurri captain Lorenzo Insigne at the centre of transfer market rumours as he has not yet signed the renewal of his contract which expires in June 2022. “Coming to Napoli I imagined Insigne and Manolas in the squad, they are players who raise the level of quality of the others who play near us. Certainty of having them? For me yes, why not, then you also have to be optimistic about things”, concludes Spalletti.
