SUBSTITUTE FOR KVARA – “Look, I leave the decision to the club. I won’t go into the transfer market, if they ask me I’ll give my thoughts. If the club asks me I’ll give my opinion. This isn’t about hiring young players with prospects. But young players with prospects to do what? I don’t understand, that we take a Primavera player? If something has to be done, it has to be done in the right way. We don’t make people laugh strong, the subjective thing is that everyone can express an opinion, whether we are stronger or not. The objectivity is that two years ago and with respect to the championship, the best went away: Osimhen, Kim, Kvara and Zielinski. Not to mention Mario Rui, or Elmas they were substitutes. Compared to last year, other strong players have left, we have to keep our heads down without complaining. If the club wants to intervene, I’ll go to war with these players.”
LUKAKU – “He is a footballer who always gives everything, like Simeone or Raspadori. They are all important, I don’t neglect anyone. We are fair but hungry.”
MATCH – “The match was set up very clearly, we didn’t want to always go and get them when they had the ball. Then it happens that sometimes the first pressure skips and they lower you, but we were always proactive to try not to stay low, not to make them I think this was the key, even compared to the first leg. In the possession phase Lobotka also suffered a bit because at times he didn’t understand when to drop between the two central defenders and build with three intensity. Today we held our own to a team that has worked with Gasperini in this way for years, they are masters. We are “students” who try to improve so that one day we too can be masters in the pressure phase.”
PATH – “This is a team that has had clear improvements, making its own journey. I also heard Gasperini talking about their journey. But he has been there for 7 years, with me he only spent six months at Napoli. And in this journey we have also lost some important players. We must continue. I am very happy and I repeat this every time I go to Castel Volturno because I know I meet guys who want to work and improve, otherwise this ranking and these performances cannot be explained they gave me a lot of availability I think that today, compared to how we started, Napoli are a team that can be annoying. This was our objective. We are only in the second return leg, we have to continue, but it gives us satisfaction because we played it openly, always ready to shoot a punch and not to take it. We are a team that must defend by attacking, we must defend by pressing. This must be the path if we want to be a European team, a team with ambition.”
SHIELD RHYTHM – “We are going too fast but no one has the intention of taking their foot off the accelerator. We have to make hay in the farm for our return to Europe. This must certainly be an important factor. Then we know very well that we are up there in the rankings and we don’t want go back down, but it’s not just our will, there are teams to face and strong teams, Atalanta, Inter, Juventus, Milan and Lazio who can also bother them. We are doing something extraordinary, even in the midst of difficulties. But in the midst of you have to exalt yourself and not complain. I don’t want to hear complaints from anyone.”
ABSENCE OF KVARA – “The thing that was clearly seen was that there were two boxers in the ring and both faced each other head on trying to throw the strongest punch. We reacted and in the second half the 2-2 draw could have created difficulties but we we got up and were good at throwing the hardest punch. In the end it was a deserved victory.”
50 POINTS – “50 points are a lot, we did something extraordinary, thanks to the players who throw themselves into the fire for me. When you have this team nothing is off limits to you. Having said that, we know that we have to continue like this. We want to continue to cause trouble. We want to return in Europe, this is the first objective. The other is to give satisfaction to our fans and the Neapolitan people who have great passion and follow us everywhere. It’s sad that for the sixth consecutive match the residents of Campania were unable to come and help us , I thank those who were there. We must move forward united, heads down and pedal.”
-GASPERINI – “Do you tell them better? Each of us must have our own opinion, today however there is great disappointment on their part. They are ahead of us as a project like everything else, you lose a match like this, conceding three goals… I think that this Napoli deserve some credit, in the first leg when we lost 3-0 I said “they are stronger now. They continue to be stronger, but they are not stronger than in the first leg, we have made a good step forward”. We are on the right path, there is a lot to do to do, but we are traveling strong, thanks to these guys.”
EXPECTATIONS – “Imagining such significant growth was not easy, then I believe a lot in methodology and work. We started the process in Dimaro, as I have always said we have to do it, then you can be good at shortening the time, but we started from behind, beyond the tenth place there were many situations that we had to briefly heal from many points of view. A huge job is being done, the biggest that has happened to me. The expectations are always very high when you start from behind , my anxiety is that we didn’t have the right patience to carry out the journey.
LOBOTKA – “I don’t find out, he has already demonstrated his value in the past. It’s important, I’m calm because behind him there is Gilmour, who will be the future of Napoli. From this point of view I’m happy because they are serious guys, they have desire to give everything, I see their great sense of belonging, for which people and which city we play for. We also want to thank all those fans who came to cheer us on.”
