Raffaele Auriemma spoke on Radio Crc during the broadcast “Si Gonfia la Rete” Gianluca Curci, former goalkeeper footballer born in 1985, who in his career was coached by both Rudi Garcia, current technician of Napoli, and Baroni, defeated on Saturday by the Verona right from the Azzurri.
“Garcia is a great person, a football man and he lives for football. It is obvious that last season was perfect for the Napoli and the same standard of performance was expected, but it's not easy.
Garcia has always been the same from what I see this year with Napoli, he is a great motivator, a great coach."
“After 2 years with Spalletti, it takes a bit of time to store different strategies, techniques and mentalities. Only 3 months have passed and Garcia certainly has different concepts from Spalletti and it takes time to assimilate them.
Napoli will gradually grow, I'm sure of it. The 5 points gap from Inter is not a problem, the road is long and Napoli has the chance to do well.
Garcia is capable of making a recovery path”.
“Goalkeeping crisis in Italy? There might be one, the problem is that they are trained in amateur clubs by coaches who do another job and who often don't even have a license.
Obviously not everywhere, but some coaches are improvised. Meret is one of the best goalkeepers in Italy.
Criticism is fine, it's part of the game, but it shouldn't be destructive. To have the new Buffon back we'll have to wait at least 100 years!".
