“Did worse with the big ones? Yes, that's right.
They are probably less used to coming in, I don't know. Absurdly, we did better with the guys who play less.
But first of all I want to apologize to the fans, I feel sorry for them, they don't deserve it. They helped us until the end.
I don't like how we ended the match, we'll think about it carefully tomorrow. It's okay to concede a goal in the corner, making a mistake in the defensive castle, then there was the incident at 2-0, but it's not good to end the match like that".
Walter said it Mazzarri, Napoli coach, after the defeat against Frosinone and the elimination from Coppa Italia on Canale5.
“Deserved whistles? The fans cheered us on even when we were down 0-2, I believed in it.
Having gone so far, having been demoralized by two mistakes. In football you lose, losing is normal, but not 4-0.
We looked like a team that was going its own way and that's not good. From tomorrow we need to look each other in the face and change our tune", continued Mazzarri on a team that seems unable to do without its starting midfield and Kvara and Osimhen.
“We played a lot, there were important matches.
I don't know if leaving them on the bench gave a negative signal, but holding all the competitions is not easy, I just came and doing two training sessions in a row is not easy. Finishing 4-0 like this at home is unacceptable.
I hope this is a good lesson that will be useful for the future."
“Few players and filling the area? You change 11 players out of 11 against a team that plays on enthusiasm and maybe it's normal for this to happen.
But in my opinion we played a good game until the goal we conceded. I was convinced we would win at the end with the substitutions.
We didn't go inside with the mezzali, it's true, we didn't go and finish in large numbers in the area like we usually do. But it's also true that we could have taken the lead, if we had had a bit of luck.
The pitch was well maintained, Demme also played a good match, those who played from the start today did well, everyone. Absurdly, when the others came on we did badly,” added the Napoli coach.
“How will you load them tomorrow?
I've already said something to the team, tomorrow I'll be more careful with the details. The thing that saddens me is that if you never coach, playing every three days, this thing disarms me.
This morning I worked on the line to avoid repeating the mistakes made against Cagliari, but there is no time. Now someone will say that I should have known and yes, I knew it would be like this, we need to take note of it and make the team improve on the board, on video”, concluded Mazzarri.
