Naples, Spalletti: "Approach, determination and quality: another perfect match"


"We were good at approaching the match well and scoring immediately to direct it in the right way". Luciano Spalletti once again congratulates Napoli for the good victory in Empoli which puts the Azzurri firmly at the top of the standings: "Yes, they were great. There was the risk of being below the fighting level because against Empoli ends matches in the 100th minute. They always do all things at the same pace, and having always been the same in terms of quality, speed and desire for sacrifice has resulted in a game in which our opponents had to surrender." points out.

"Also good at making up for the expulsion of Mario Rui"

The only drawback is the expulsion of Mario Rui: "It's true, it's a symptom of lack of maturity. These are things that are in football, the essential thing is that the others get together and show that they can make up for certain things". adds Spalletti. "The 10-man team had a very important reaction: in the second half, the midfielders in particular played a really tough game, helping to bring home a fundamental result. Lobotka, for example, excels in quality when the team has ball possession. He you never manage to jump him or catch up with him. With his physique he manages to hold his own even in terms of strength. Giuntoli was awake to see him, the boy wasn't an intuition but he was on everyone's lips and so we were good at take him. Elmas, then, allowed us not to feel the numerical inferiority ". In closing, a special applause also goes to Osimhen: "He is hungry for goals, he helps the team and benefits from the great help he receives from the team. He has absolute quality and you can see it in front of goal".

Osimhen: "We should have scored the third goal"

Victor Osimhen thanks and underlines: "It's nice that the team and the coach believe in me, I have to do my best on the pitch for them. Spalletti wants the best from all of us, we must always do more and he always motivates me, even when we're in training. All the coaches give directions by shouting at their players. We try to repay him. We did well to go up 2-0 straight away but we had to score the third goal, a shame also because we remembered last year's match. We're happy for the victory, it was not easy". On his magical moment he adds: "Obviously this is definitely one of the best seasons of my career, I feel great. The message received from Drogba? For me it was great to see him, it was a surprise and that represents another motivation for me. He was my idol as a kid. He complimented me."
