Allegri: "Tomorrow we just have to win the match."

Castel Volturno "In these moments, the less you think and the more you do, the better." Massimiliano Allegri opened his pre-match press conference for Napoli vs. Bologna with these words. The Italian coach didn't mince words: "We analyzed the games like we do every week. We have to respect Bologna by putting in that extra bit. Tomorrow we won't perform, we have to win the game. But it won't be easy."

Regarding the team's mental state, after three consecutive defeats, Allegri is clear: "Only we can reverse the trend. With complete serenity, the result is before everyone. It's true that we faced three strong opponents, but if our performances didn't help, then something more is needed."

Regarding the lineup, Lang is available again: "He apologized and is available again. His absence against Arsenal wasn't a punishment. We have the substitutions; it's going to be a long match." Anguissa, however, is sitting out: "Yesterday he had a problem and sat out. Lang is back, so we have enough players to face the match in the best possible way."

Regarding the two-man playmaker and De Bruyne, Allegri adds: "We can do better in every game. Against Arsenal, we gave away too many balls and wasted chances in the final minutes. De Bruyne? I'm happy with him. I'd like to keep the ball and always shoot on goal, but there are also opponents."

The coach then returned to the importance of the match against the Rossoblù at the Maradona: "Tomorrow is a chance for us to start winning at home. There's no need to talk much: we have a chance to win against Bologna. It's important for us. It will be a game of great responsibility because we have until the next international break to sort out the standings and approach the next nine games in the best possible way."

Finally, no specific information on the lineup: "I don't know if Lang will play tomorrow. We'll see tomorrow morning, I still have some doubts. Up front we have Neres, Lang, Vergara, De Bruyne, Lucca, Hojlund, and Politano: we have attacking players, so we'll try to put together a lineup, hoping we get it right."
