Spalletti: “Very important match, we know how to face it”
Spalletti spoke at a press conference anticipating the themes of the match that Napoli will play on the pitch Lecce, tomorrow at 19pm: “It's a very important match, we know how to face it, the performance that is needed in these cases, after a defeat, is full of substance where every thought must be directed to the good of the team”.
“When you come out of half-and-half performances, some doubts arise, even if it is excessive to say so - he added -. The solution to everything is to run for your teammate, give cleaner situations to others, take on quarrels to resolve those of others, reasoning like this makes everything easier”.
Spalletti: “Scudetto? We haven’t won anything yet”
The Napoli coach then spoke about the road to the title: “You have attributed this concept of infallibility to us, we have always remained humble, we know we have flaws like all teams”.
“It was just the skill of the players that brought out the best qualities they have, that made sure these things didn't happen more frequently, making us win all these games”, goes on.
“We know that the Milan he arrived at the match fearing to lose it, we probably did it with all the talk that is being had with the belief that it could be a filler match towards the Champions League.
This made the difference in the motivation of the match."
“We know very well that from now on all battles will be difficult to win to bring home this Scudetto. As long as we are just one point away from the mathematical certainty we will have done nothing, everything will be swept away up to that point!
Then there's also training to do, talking about some defeats, you can't always win", he added.
Spalletti: “Party in Naples? I am the last samurai left…”
" party in the city and the climate opposite to the stadium?
I was the last one to think that we haven't won yet – explained Spalletti -. We still need 5 wins, 15 points. I've been following the ball that rolls for years, I know well that sometimes it hits the little hole and rolls badly until you hit it and put it back in line".
"By Lorenzo the other morning after me he put two sentences as captain and in this direction: the work must be completed, the defeat the other evening tells us this.
We are convinced and we do not support everything that is said, there are 5 victories left and then everyone can say what they want: those who wish you ill say they will not win it anymore, others say they have already won it”.
Spalletti: “Osimhen? Let’s wait until next week”
Spalletti concluded by taking stock of the conditions of osimhen: “There are no possibilities for tomorrow, we will talk about it again next week.
We have to wait for the practical development of the work. What if I think about changes tomorrow?
Yes, something will be changed from the previous lineup.”
“The week went in the best possible way, I saw great training. Relay Breakers-Simeon?
It's a real option, 'Jack' is in a position to be chosen and there were still 20 minutes in the last match to complete the insertion".
