Montecatini Terme – “I think it’s an exciting championship, there are still nine games to play. We’ve built a virtuous path, we’re deserving to play until the end this chance for the Scudetto. Inter is a very strong team, so let’s see.
Do we believe in the Scudetto? We built it, when you are there you want to get to the end. We have done something important and we must remain consistent with what has been our path”. This was said yesterday evening by Napoli’s sporting director, Giovanni Manna, during the Maestrelli award ceremony in Montecatini Terme.
“The initial goal was to finish in the top four, and that was already a very strong goal,” added the Azzurri manager. “We are fighting for the Scudetto and we have been at the top of the table for most of the championship. We have caressed the Scudetto like a dream every now and then, then we lived it, but I repeat we earned it on the pitch, we deserved it.
We are not a team perhaps built to win yet, but the boys have shown every day that they have important values and they are bringing them back to the field. This year we have started again and every year we will try to improve the squad, as has always been done”.
+”We started from a last championship that was a bit complicated – Manna underlined – The choices were made in order to restart and rebuild. Mister Conte was a fundamental element in this, decisive in the daily work, in the impact, his history speaks for him, so it is a path that we are taking together and we must be happy.
I thank President De Laurentiis and Dr. Chiavelli who allowed us to do this and we hope to continue to grow."
Speaking about his work, Manna said: “The thing that gave me the most satisfaction, I think, for a reality like Naples, so warm and passionate, was seeing people get excited again after such a complicated year, and that gave satisfaction to all of us.
The player who I think left me with something more is Buongiorno because he is a player who normally has difficulty arriving in Naples, because there are even more important clubs that arrive first. Alessandro's willingness to join our project was decisive, we are proud of this and I think this is the thing that satisfied me the most", concluded Manna.
