Naples, Spalletti after the 2-0 in Monza: the words on the future

A painless defeat, which does not change morale or ranking. Napoli did not offer a brilliant performance in Monza, the result however is not the most heartfelt argument. Instead, the future of Luciano Spalletti is, who responded cryptically to requests on the subject. “Companies like Napoli are used to planning, even if now it’s not like it used to be because you have to be ready to change tickets and destinations suddenly. It’s a question that applies to everyone’s daily life, you have to be good at pulling on the fly: if you bounce the ball too much, then it stops by itself. The club has shown that it is equipped to do this type of thing, last year we replaced some elements at the last moment with top-level solutions” he explained in the interview given to Dazn at the end of the race.

The fact that the scudetto has already been won does not make the score accrued in Monza any less bitter. “When you lose there is always a slight annoyance – continued the coach – then it always depends on how the defeat matures and on the degree of humility. You are professionals because you always behave in the same way, with the same objectives, with the “self-discipline that determines behavior. We had a week to recover, we trained very well, but we put in less quality than usual and this can’t happen. Compliments obviously have to be given, because they worked hard. Talking about who has played less, because it is a way of attributing blame to others, so energy is lost and less things are seen. We have achieved goals to which everyone has contributed”. The team didn’t express themselves in the usual way. “Our characteristic is knowing how to hold the ball and make it spin, raising the center of gravity in the opponent’s half of the field. Instead, there was less cleanliness in the game and it becomes difficult if we are forced to chase after counterattacks. It’s the opposite of what we want to do” .

When asked about Kvaratskhelia, who came on in the second half in an attempt to give a jolt to Napoli, Spalletti replied as follows: “He has to put in something more when the others have the ball, because if he assumes a correct position for the others it becomes easier to work He’s certainly a fabulous player in possession, you can see that when he has the ball the opponents fear him and always double up on him and so he opens up space for us, even though he’s able to overcome any situation because he’s stratospheric.” Finally, the coach recounted the moment of joy he gave to a child, taking him to the bench before the match. “He said to me ‘it’s beautiful!’. I also showed him the changing rooms, he gave everyone a high five. He was very excited. You can see that he obviously wants to be a coach” he concluded.
