If Napoli beat Inter…
Spalletti’s conference over. In case of victory against Inter, Napoli could find success against 19 different opponents in the course of a single season for the first time in their history in Serie A (there are currently 18, as in 2015/16 and 2018 /19).

Spalletti: “I experience continuous emotions”
“Am I happy or not? When I arrive on the landing at home there are two doors, happiness or unhappiness, I don’t know which one to take, they are very close situations. For me, happiness is having made the Napoli fans happy, the celebrations at the stadium, the thousand people who are there at every training session are continuous emotions”.

The Juve hypothesis for Spalletti
“Three years from now Juve hypotheses to be discarded? Every year at my age I have to take stock of what goes on in my brain and I can only talk about this year, after the president has said so. Am I tired? I’m fine, I think about football 24 hours a day, it’s clear that there is a bit of a struggle. If I decide to start again, I’ll start again at a thousand per hour, willing to go against everything and everyone as I did other times for the good of the team and results”.

Spalletti: “I was put in the best conditions”
“Who would I chain myself up for? It’s the whole thing that has to work, even if some players are fantastic, like Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia, but Napoli won even without them. I was put in a position to coach a good team and well, but above all it was the players who worked well”.

Spalletti: “Naples top, here with strong ambitions”
“The level of feeling that is experienced every day here is top. In Naples there is an environment that sometimes creates difficulties for the team and then there is a city that puts everything back in its place. There is a love that reshapes even mistakes which I did because it’s a truly special city. When you train here, you have to have strong ambitions.”

Spalletti: “We have to fight to win the Champions League”
“Ask Di Lorenzo and Santoro what I said to the team after last year’s third place. And now I’m asking myself because we have to improve on what we’ve done, because we have to fight to win the Champions League.”
15:32
Spalletti: “I didn’t refuse the raise, I didn’t have any other offers”
“There was no need to make any negotiations, I didn’t refuse any salary increase, I don’t have to pay any clause, I don’t have to do anything. It’s not true that I’ve received offers to coach elsewhere, it’s false. It’s not true who are waiting for another team to coach, false. Whoever writes these things writes falsehoods or whatever suits them”.
15:26
Spalletti’s letter to the Neapolitans: “I gave everything”
“This is a perfect squad to aim for the top, the boys showed what they’re wearing so it’s legible where to change something. A letter to the Neapolitans? I gave them all the time I had, my skills, I tried to give the best for my experience and for doing this job at its best. I received much more than I gave”.
15:21
Spalletti and congratulations to Mourinho
“Inter? We still have a lot of stimuli because the players we have are like that, they have an iron discipline towards themselves. The stimulating thing, as well as being deservedly Champions finalists, is that we beat everyone in this championship except Inter I also congratulate Mourinho’s Roma and Italiano’s Fiorentina, they are very important results from which we can all take advantage.”
15:15
Spalletti: “Napoli will have an important future”
“It’s difficult to start from the eighth place, as you all thought, and win. Napoli will have an important future because the correct steps have been taken, it’s easier for me to work in this situation here than when I arrived.”
15:10
Spalletti responds to “clipped wings”
“Do I feel my wings clipped? I don’t know what it means, you have to ask the president, this thing is not inherent in what we said to each other that time at dinner. For what I want to do, I don’t need a pair of wings, I need a pair of boots, I don’t have to fly anywhere. The contract? The president has to say it, I defined everything at that dinner a week ago, I clarified everything, everything has been clear since that evening there”.
14:55
Soon the beginning of the conference
Spalletti’s press conference will get underway in about five minutes. The coach will analyze Napoli’s match against Inter, but there is a lot of expectation to understand if he will also concede a few jokes to explain his future.
