Raffaele Auriemma spoke on Radio CRC during the broadcast “Si Gonfia la Rete” Julio Sergio, footballer coached by Garcia. “It's difficult to change a coach when you're winning. It's not a given that you'll win again when the coach changes, even if the team is strong.
It takes a bit of time to adapt to the new coach, that's normal. Then it's clear that people in football don't have patience."
"Garcia he is a person I had the pleasure of knowing, he is a good, intelligent, calm man, who knows a lot about football and now coaches a team like Napoli, champion of Italy, so he will only have to do his job and he knows how to do it.
With him we had a different retreat than usual and during the season we went really strong. What I want to tell people is to give him time because we probably won't see a Napoli that will play well right away, but with time they will get there".
“Players must not think they have arrived because in football things change quickly and if you are not always exemplary professionals, the fall is just around the corner.
Of course, it's difficult to maintain concentration when you win, but if you manage to do so, then you win again. I hope Napoli maintains high concentration.
Spalletti is more charged, he is someone who shouts, while Garcia is calmer and more relaxed. Of course, sometimes he gets angry too, but he is a different man.
Garcia is an intelligent man and he knows very well that he will have to make changes slowly. Furthermore, he has a great desire to win and it will be nice to see the new Napoli win with Garcia on the bench".
