Friends of Tuttonapoli, good evening and welcome to the direct text of Luciano Spalletti’s press conference after the 1-0 friendly against Pro Vercelli on the tenth day of Dimaro’s retirement
19.50 – Spalletti arrives at the conference
A judgment on 1-0 in the second friendly match with Pro Vercelli. “We played a very good game, the players were attentive to what we had to develop, we caught them running away as a team, in my opinion they also made good plots, creating important situations. The fact that many tired players are missing is to avoid taking risks, we went our own way with work, we didn’t rest yesterday or the day before yesterday. I’m happy with the behavior “.
On Demme’s condition. “The only negative note. It bothers us, it bugs us, he took this blow, we have to be cautious and wait for further information, looking carefully because he is in pain, but we trust that it is a blow where he feels pain and compresses him more for the hematoma that is there “.
Is Osimhen the real reinforcement? “He also goes alone, in the open field, he is everywhere, being always available for every action makes him lose quality and every now and then he makes some mistakes, but he is doing a good preparation. It is complete”
Does he chained himself for Koulibaly, but also for others? “I chained myself for everyone, I like this team here, if it stays like this I’m the happiest in Napoli. If not, then they say I chained myself for one, not for another. than as a man “.
Is Fabian more of a midfielder or a three under the tip? Same question for Mertens too. “He can play on both sides, we want a team that dribbles, then it also depends on the opponents, if they throw themselves into the construction and if you have to put the men in the interspaces, so we talk about 4-2-31. Today it was a 4-3-3, the low top played between the strikers, there was a need for the one against their 3-5-2. In front of the defense then it is clear you don’t need a porter, but one who makes you travel. Lobotka s “is well adapted, from midfielder, then later as low play without Demme. I see a continuous growth, it is a confirmation of my idea that I had. Mertens central striker or under striker, where he has always played, he is good there, in the tight spaces to get out, then it depends on the game, on what development it has. In Dries there is always room “.
Does Lozano see him more to the right or left with the foot reversed? “He prefers to play on the right, on the other hand it is clear that he can enter but he also scored many goals on the right, change too much then he makes a soup”.
What signals did you have off the pitch from the players and the group? “The human qualities are so many in the group, it is a very good group, they are friends off the pitch, they always help each other, they are also convinced that they are strong after I had questioned this. There is something to improve, but they go to great lengths strength for Napoli. This is a shirt that we must learn to wear even when there is no match, Napoli wants this from Napoli. “
Did you have a confrontation with ADL? What does he think of the chains for Koulibaly? “ADL pays attention to everything, situations have to be put in place, but it must remain a strong team because there are many strong teams, 7 of our level and then someone always comes out and becomes the pain in the ass. We need a squad that takes a hit on everyone. competitions, then the Africa Cup will take away Osimhen and Koulibaly from 6-7 games and we want to get there between 4, we don’t hide! “
How are Elmas and Petagna? “We have done all the work, they want to make themselves available and be seen, they feel they are not pulling out the pain with the new coach. It is more important than yesterday morning’s coach of strengthening, they have spent important energy. Nothing changes. , the important thing is that they are not hurt. The friendly match changes little, it was used to evaluate the other players we have, there is someone interesting “.
Zedadka was lively, his assessment? Can he also act as a full-back? “He can’t play full-back, he’s an attacking player, he’s good at aiming, in depth, those are the characteristics. Zanoli is also polite to me, he has good pace, Folorunsho, 3-4 interesting guys who can aim for the leap in category “.
