The leaders restart after the knockout with Inter: “It’s only right that we’re still in trouble”
A minute of silence in memory of Gianluca Vialli (and Mihajlovic). The conference of Luciano Spalletti on the eve of the match against Sampdoria begins with his own homage to the Sampdoria champion who passed away yesterday and with the memory by the Napoli coach of his friend-opponent. After that, the focus shifts to football Marassi match which comes after the first knockout in the championship, the one against Inter which reopened the Scudetto race: “Since the defeat at San Siro – declared the Neapolitan coach – we learned that we could also have an 8-point advantage and instead we only have 5. What everyone says is right, there can be a defeat, our championship is positive, we did well, but the truth is that our boxes are spinning and they have to, we didn’t do what we wanted to do and we don’t want to settle for the classification and the advantage that exists between us and the others. We also want to play the difficult games against teams set up to win the Scudetto with the same desire as the other games to achieve full results: but we didn’t do it in the last game. As for the choices for tomorrow, I can say that they didn’t arrive for the San Siro performance, but they were choices that had already been foreseen before Milan. There will be 3-4 changesas it should be”.
“With Sampdoria – continued the blue coach – the reaction is important. In training I saw the right seriousness and professionalism to continue our work, we don’t want to be satisfied with the classification and the margins of advantage over the others. I repeat, we want and must play against teams built to aim for the Scudetto with the same determination seen previously to always achieve results. We didn’t do it in Milan.”
