Giacomo Raspadori, speaking at today's press conference, expressed his thoughts on Napoli's future coach, stating that he is in contact with Antonio Conte, but stressing that at the moment the focus is entirely on the European Championship: “We’ve already spoken, but now we’re here focused on what every boy’s dream is.”
Speaking about his personal ambitions for next season with Napoli, Raspadori said: “Am I aiming for more space at Napoli? The goal is to have a leading role in the season and have continuity.
We haven't gotten into the discussion yet, it's too early to talk about it and we're not in the right place."
The striker then reflected on Italian football culture and the perception of age in players: “Problem of youth culture in Italy? At 24 years old here a footballer is considered young, maybe abroad they have already played 150 games as a starter.
I don’t consider myself young, I hope this mentality can change.”
Breakers he also compared his current maturity with that of 2021: “Compared to 2021, I feel more mature, more aware of my means. That was my first call-up, it was something very unexpected, not that being here today was a given, but it is a great source of pride.”
Finally, he spoke about working with the current coach Luciano Spalletti: “He gives you energy in every moment he can give you something, motivation, tactics.
The time available compared to the clubs is less and he tries to impress what his beliefs are. We must be good at assimilating and as much as possible, have an identity and bring it to the field."
