Luciano Spalletti, Napoli coach, commented on the recently concluded match, satisfied with the tenacity shown by the team until the end: "We had several chances to score, which came late. Lozano had some, but Kvara also created two. It took tenacity to try until the end. Our attitude paid off, and the victory was deserved, although I have to compliment Gotti on how he prepared for the match.".

Spalletti sent off 

"After our goal, the opponents came to protest about the injury time, and I pointed out forcefully the opponents' insistence on fouling, which I had already criticized earlier.

Referee Santoro told me he couldn't do more than call a foul, but in certain situations he could have been booked. In the end, though, I didn't insult anyone; I just said, 'Are you protesting about added time, given all the times you've committed fouls?' Maradona fans always carry their passion for these colors around with them, they bring it all the way home. And that's a wonderful thing for those who play for Napoli; it's not like that elsewhere, and that makes us happy.".

Spezia, coach Gotti's disappointment over the defeat against Napoli

"Today we tried in Naples, against a great team. There are moments when the Azzurri really make things difficult for you, and we lacked composure, partly due to the heat, but we tried to create our own chances. I'm very happy with our attitude. We paid the price in the build-up to the goal because Reca, who is injured, wasn't able to get there.

Of course, when matches are decided in the final minutes, the bitter taste is always greater, but this is our sixth game and we need to develop a mentality that we can and must play anywhere. Today, the score was even until the 88th minute, and there was also a questionable incident in Napoli's penalty area. I won't comment on it because this year, the referees tell us that similar incidents aren't called, unlike last season. Let's see if things continue like this.'"
