“I saw the match that Fiorentina won 3-1 against Napoli and I thought that Italiano would have done the same things.” Thus Walter Mazzarri, coach of Napoli, spoke to the microphones of Sport Mediaset after the victory against the Fiorentina which allowed the Azzurri to access the final of Super Cup.
“I thought about giving them more protection because when they play the ball they are better than us, I think the boys did well and it was the only way to take on this Fiorentina – he adds -. Simeon e Zerbin?For me Zerbin has incredible skills, he is often taken from abroad and not looked at at home.
He has to improve, but he is a talent. He will have a great future.
Giovanni, on the other hand, is the player that everyone would like to have in their squad. He is a wonderful boy, positive and very strong.
He deserves it."
On the change of module Mazzarri adds: “I studied Napoli and I was enthusiastic about it. We tried to do what they did last year, but we lost a lot of players.
Today there were very few of those who always played with Spalletti, I had to give the boys a shake-up. The opponents study you and it's difficult to replicate what you've done.
I have to try to sew the shirt on the players who are left. But if I can I will go back to playing with the 4-3-3″, he concludes.
