Latest news Naples – At Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, during Radio Goal, the striker of Naples Matteo Politano, releasing some statements:
“At the top of the standings it is good, but we will have to be good at staying as long as possible because the championship is very long.
The approach for the next 31 races? The usual that has been there so far, the desire to win and to impose their game. In Florence there was a great Naples, we suffered but then we came out great.
Do we remain calm even in a difficult time? Absolutely, we have always come out well: we are a group that never gives up and that wants to show off its qualities.
The numbers of the first seven games are important, but they remain numbers. We don’t have to get upset, in addition to the championship there is the Europa League in which we will have to make a great run-up. Down to earth and game after game.
My exultation for a lateral phallus? This is team spirit, there is a need for defensive sacrifice to lend a hand to teammates. Up front we are strong, the defensive compactness gives us a big hand.
Spalletti? I found a coach full of enthusiasm in coaching Napoli, you can also see it on the pitch. On a tactical level, I found a changed coach, he is strong and he is giving us peace of mind and strength. We try to keep up with him as much as possible.
Mentality? I think there has been a change, last year games like Venice and Florence we would have been afraid and we would not have won them. This year, however, we keep calm, we have reached a great maturity as a team and this makes things easier.
Perfect score in attack? Let’s not forget Petagna, Ounas and Lozano as well as Dries Mertens. We went through four challenging away matches on difficult fields, and we managed to impose our game. We must continue like this.
The desire to play despite the break? It is also important to work, playing every three days we don’t train a lot and now we have the chance to try something new.
How much do I like Naples? A lot, even with the child I like to go out when I have the opportunity. There is a beautiful climate. Life has changed me, having a child is one of the most beautiful things in the world: I like going home to her a lot, it’s a more demanding life (laughs, ed).
Failure to call up the national team? I will work to always give my best, to put Mancini in difficulty for the call-ups in view of the World Cup.
What does Spalletti tell us at the end of the game? He hardly ever talks, regardless of the result. He compliments everyone, then maybe on Tuesday he analyzes the game with the whole group.
Turin? It can hide many pitfalls, we have three players who will return next Thursday and they may arrive tired and with little time to prepare for the game. It will be a difficult match, Torino concedes little and marks across the board.
One thing that struck me about Spalletti? Great enthusiasm, he passed it on to us immediately. He wants to impose his game, he has given us confidence and after the disappointment of the Champions League last year we were still sorry. He put all things right.
Osimhen? Victor is proving the footballer he was already last year, we knew he would become so strong seeing him every day. He wants to work, he is young and must be left alone to make an impact in every game.
Napoli-Juventus? What a thrill the equal goal, we really wanted to win and I know how important it is for the fans.
The Scudetto? We think game after game, we know within ourselves that we are strong and that we want to get as high as possible. But down to earth, Serie A has just begun and from the next match we will be looking for the eighth consecutive victory.
Anguissa? When it arrived it looked like it had been with us for two years! He was good at integrating with the group, then on the pitch he was exceptional.
Different atmosphere in the city? When you win there is always great joy, it is normal that everyone is better off. Winning helps to do well.
A phrase in Neapolitan that I like? One of those that Insigne says, but better to avoid profanity (laughs, ed).
Racist choirs in Florence? Shameful what happened on Sunday, we are in 2021 and certain things cannot be heard. These people shouldn’t enter the stadium, they should cheer and have fun “
