The coach on the eve of the Monza match: “If you have meetings in restaurants in Naples, where you eat well, then it becomes difficult to carve out the time to talk, having your mouth full of so many good things…”
Luciano Spalletti speaks on the eve of the Monza race and a few hours after the meeting with the blue management. He does it in his own way, a bit hermetic: “If you have meetings in restaurants in Naples, where you eat well, then it becomes difficult to carve out the time to talk, having your mouth full of so many good things. As far as I’m concerned, everything is very clear, but it’s only right that the club should expose it. What emerged last night the club will tell when it wants. I can only continue to work and finish what I started in the best possible way. I’m glad I had the chance to give my all. The company has done very well in terms of reorganisation. Napoli will still have a bright future. They gave me the opportunity to work well with young players. A loop can be opened. I am satisfied with the meeting”.

Then he talks about everyday life: “When a team has set itself the goal of the happiness of its fans, it is right to chase records. There will be full stadiums everywhere, with pieces of blue heart everywhere we go. I found a perfect attitude with Fiorentina: we overturned the tactical situation on the pitch”. Then some training indications: “Bereszynski plays, the captain can handle this… Osimhen deserves to hit the finish line in the top scorer rankings, the team is willing to help him. Everyone would like it.” On the opponent: “Palladino will have an important future, he has managers who know how to see people’s minds, like Galliani. They have well structured what they want to do, build from below to then attack spaces quickly. There is the risk of suffering those restarts that cost effort and create difficulties, because you risk conceding goals. We also know Petagna’s value as a man and as a player. But we want to win all the games between now and the end.”

Then Spalletti opens up to his emotions: “I know I’m hurt, I tend to keep my emotions to myself, but when it comes to Naples, it’s impossible not to be enchanted by this sun, which gives you a blue tan. I wanted to try to revive the people’s love that had fallen asleep under the ashes. When you succeed, people recognize you as something. It paid off for my sleepless nights. I gave my all and even more. It was wonderful to enjoy the party from the stadium up towards Vesuvius. Seeing all this happiness in one color, blue. It is also perceived from the outside how important the Napoli championship is also socially. This victory was good for all of football. They all agreed that we had to win it and we deserved to do it, regardless of the team they support.”
