“We have 7 games in 23 days, it will be like a marathon, we have to start well and it will be important to have the whole group available. I am happy that there are no injuries, Politano even if he cannot play from the start will be part of the group”. He said so Rudi Garcia, coach of Napoli, during the press conference on the eve of the league match against Genoa.
It is inevitable to think of a turnover. “I will give space to those who deserve it, the team that starts tomorrow will not be the same one that played against Lazio”, confirms Garcia. "Breakers?I know he played 70 minutes as a striker, it's a solution because I've always said he can play in all positions in attack even as a number 9 or a midfielder. It's important, having someone like osimhen, knowing how to play multiple roles.
For us he is an important player", says Garcia.
“There is a lot of work to do, the president is right. We have already done some important things, but there are many things to improve both on a technical and physical level. – added Garcia -. We won the first two games, while in the third we didn't make any mistakes because we played a great first half.
But we need to be able to manage all the quality individuals we have."he adds.
“Genoa is a great team, even if they are newly promoted they are a great club. They are a solid team on the defensive level, I am happy to meet an opponent like Kevin Strootman.
They started badly against Fiorentina, then by changing the formation they recovered, winning against Lazio and only losing at the end against Toro. We have to respect them, because at their home it is never easy, but we have to go there to win without thinking about the other games.
We have to be 100% focused on this match."
