Spezia Naples: Spalletti at the press conference. The SSC Napoli coach spoke live the day before the match. Spalletti speaks for Napoli football in the conference. Here is what was highlighted by CalcioNapoli24:

“I’m sorry this is the last conference of this season, I would take you on vacation with me. What Naples should we expect in the future? A question that becomes difficult to answer now, if not impossible. What is the competitiveness of the team depends on many factors. We need the ability to renew ourselves at the end of the cycle. We have advanced age in some players and expiring contracts. We must renew ourselves, remaining competitive. Then we must consider the ability of our opponents to renew themselves. That is the first goal of all companies. Then it is clear that the championships do not make you start from the difference in the rankings this season. We all start from scratch. Beyond those seven of all time, with Fiorentina, with investments and with Italian and his way of coaching, the condominium is expanding and we must be good. We have to start in that competition and end up in that competition. There are situations in which you have to chase and we will do it as we always have. We have shown that we have a team of character.

Koulibaly? Also last year there was talk of the possibility of many disposals and then it didn’t happen. Only those who were due to expire have left. Let’s try to pretend to be a coach who has Koulibaly in the team. For me it is not transferable, because they are those players who are willing to lend a hand to everyone and have that ability to put their hand where it is needed. He becomes big and strong according to the need that exists. It cannot be sold because we want to play an important championship. You become a leader like him over the years, you can’t find another one immediately ready. He is able to return the ball to the passion that reigns here.

Fixed points? It is difficult to fully answer but I have a direct confrontation with the club and the sports management. We are in contact every day and I have faith in this company and these people who are close to me and I talk to. It is obvious that we will need additions of quality and proportions equal to the eventual departure because competitiveness passes from teams like Juventus and Inter who want to win the championship.

Koulibaly next captain? I am lucky, I am in contact with these players and I hear a few things. As a result of the president’s statement, I am convinced that the company also knows of the importance of Koulibaly and I hope that there is the possibility of finding a meeting point because Kalidou is not the same as the others. And for some, a different consideration must be used.

Tomorrow the Captain will be Ghoulam, Insigne will not start from the first minute. Add physical strength? A bit ‘in general was my speech, the teams come bumping into you and not all start from the bottom but bludgeon from the bottom. You always go to shoulder contact and you have to evaluate where it can happen and it would be better to keep up with the choices made. It has been said many times that Anguissa becomes important to us and the president has already said that he redeems it. Lately he has often played Mertens starter and having Mertens and Osimhen play together with Anguissa on the pitch is different from not having Anguissa on the pitch.

Mertens and Ospina? What can become dangerous is the end of the cycle which has also shown that it has many leaders to expire, the departure of the captain who we already knew would leave in January. Losing them all is difficult, you buy players but being a leader takes a little time. From a technical point of view, for Mertens the story speaks for him. The contribution he also made this season was very important. The same goes for Ospina: they are players who have experience who can transfer her to the locker room even when he does not speak. David is a footballer who speaks little, very sweet but never raises his voice and has the respect of his teammates.

Di Lorenzo and Mario Rui? I never thought there could be a market on these two names. With Ghoulam leaving, we need to find a left back. Mario Rui has shown that he knows how to be his own coach for all the games he has played.

More Insigne for Naples or Totti for Rome? They are equally two phenomenal footballers. Two for which children dream. They know how to make a difference even more when they chase their opponents, close the opponent’s plays and then erase everything you write on the blackboard with the qualities of their foot. I don’t know if Lorenzo has pointed out that waking up in Toronto is not like waking up in Naples, in his roots. I am convinced that it will happen to him too, because it has happened to many: Naples is on your skin, he was the leader of this team. The solution will be to put a painting with Vesuvius at the end of the bed.

Naples or Rome? I’ll let you decide the answer …

Starting again with Fabian and Zielinski? Little will happen in the next market too, considerations will be made on individual players but the numbers and years of contract one has also count. What’s new in the staff? Baldini took some time to think about whether to stay or not. He has decided to stop for the moment to be with his family. We will evaluate in the next few days.

Demme? Inside a squad serves those who take free kicks and corner kicks. If you don’t have someone who beats them well, there’s no point in damning yourself to find the right solution. Lobotka is a top footballer, one who makes us sleep peacefully. Under the management of the ball in the role, he is impressive. The whole team suffers from it but he has the solutions to get out of the pressure of the opponents.

What if I fight to keep Mertens? Yes, there is my agreement to him too, he is a leader of the locker room, the previous speech goes in this direction. When the president asked me, I said he can stay.

The day after Spezia-Naples I will return home, in Tuscany, in my natural environment. My wife is from La Spezia and two of my children were born there. I will not take a picture with me, she will be back in about ten days to go to the beach. Camper? We check a quote, it costs more than an apartment

More fans at the stadium? This city loves the colors of their team, when they stay at home they feel bad. It was just a moment when, out of an angry reaction, it was decided not to come to the stadium because of too much love that made them feel bad. The players have scored many goals, many beautiful goals, we also have the best defense and we’ll see how it ends tomorrow and that’s one more reason to have a good match. We all want to win and we would like the team to do very well. I don’t want to go back, I repeat clearly, but the fact of not having fought to the end for the Scudetto disturbs us. When I said full throttle, I was trying to do self-esteem injections because I saw that they didn’t believe it all the way. Then it is clear that we all want to win but the game is played on ‘can I win?’ We must all be very close in a correct and balanced way so as not to fall out of bed.

Have you changed your mind about Mertens? I gave some examples before, we played well even without Mertens. Then it is clear that a player as experienced as he and strong in finishing like him, has returned the bill to me and I pay it. for me Mertens stays, I did what I have to do. When he shoots he is an incredible sniper.

Osimhen? It was unfortunate a lot. For what it was the need for him to work for the team, we found that his head has a phenomenal elevation. Having it from the start, it will be a big advantage for the player and for the team. He will continue to score many goals and improve his realization phase.

Names in Giuntoli? We have touched more keys. I have to work on the pitch and prepare the training but Giuntoli is always here to see them training like Pompilio. They then make syntheses to be ready on all sides and complete the squad. Better then to go inside the momentary reality, this navigating on sight if they then take someone away from you. We have 3-4 names ready everywhere, but if I say a name of a specific role, a player of mine may think that he is not happy with him. The team has shown that they are of quality and you have to be ready if they take someone away from us. Kvaratskhelia has already been taken and the club has been good at supporting Insigne which is an important start.

What to ask in the match against La Spezia? Who plays? I ask what I have seen all week. There will be no Ounas who has felt an adductor pull. There will be no operated Lozano, then everyone comes. The doctor took a couple from me. They are all very famous faces. Zanoli has been called up for the national team and is congratulated by the team and the staff. Satisfaction for everyone, the quality of the training increases, also thanks to the teacher Di Lorenzo who is in front of him and he is enough to act as a shadow. He is lucky because the other could make room for him by changing his role. I can give you a few names: Ghoulam, Zanoli, Petagna plays, Zielinski and Meret plays.

After this season, in the last ten years, I have gone to the Champions League nine times. “
