The technician of Napoli, Francesco Calzone, gave an interview to Sky Sport microphones after the 1-1 draw against Turin: “I am extremely satisfied with the team’s performance. They showed great creativity and tactical discipline on the pitch.
I can only praise our overwhelming supremacy, we only conceded one goal opportunity. If we maintain this level of play, we can go far."
“The match against Barcelona?
We will prepare it with the same determination as always. We are Napoli, a strong team and we do not fear any opponent.
I would like to highlight the exceptional contribution of Kvaratskhelia, a special player in whom I trusted, and I am pleased with how he responded to my instructions. Mario Rui was also one of the best on the pitch”.
“I regret that in the second half we only played 24 minutes out of 52, but the team gave their all to try to win.
We have made a significant step forward, thanks to the lads who have shown great dedication both from a tactical point of view and in other aspects. I stressed to the lads that, during my management, we have always conceded goals, which is not good.
Today we improved the filter in midfield, although I recognize that there is little time to train some things and we have to establish priorities.”
“Our young players are growing, and although we are giving up something, we will gradually correct this aspect as well. Regarding Orsato's refereeing, I am only sorry that the actual time was limited; a few more minutes of recovery would have been right.
Now I have to provide certainties to the team, but time is limited. Changing the module at this time can generate mental confusion.
Therefore, we continue on this path to ensure solidity and certainty for the team.”
