chilling words for Spalletti

Giovanni Di Lorenzo, captain of Napoli, made some statements at the end of the match against Croatia.

Luciano Spalletti can smile, albeit in extremis, the former Napoli coach’s Italy has reached the round of 16. The decision was made by Zaccagni, a rabbit caught out of the hat by the coach, who was good at correcting initial choices that hadn’t turned out to be exactly happy.

Switzerland will now be waiting for the Azzurri, who will face the national team capable of ousting them from the World Cup during the qualifying rounds, for a sort of tricolor revenge, at least, this is the hope of the Italian sporting people.

Di Lorenzo to RAI: ​​the Napoli captain’s words about Spalletti are beautiful

Giovanni Di Lorenzocaptain of Napoli and among the most in difficulty during the second match of the group against Spain, was interviewed by colleagues from the RAI during the post-race period. These are the statements released by the former Empoli right back:

“It was a tough match, the important thing was to get through this group. We’re happy to have tied it like this at the last minute. With Spain we gave a sense of fragility that a team like ours shouldn’t have. In these tournaments time is short, in terms of play we can do better but in terms of character the team gave everything. This is a point from which we can start again.
Spalletti’s choices? The coach tried to change something, he knew that they could suffer from the width of the fifths, I started wide then Chiesa moved in and gave a great hand”.

Then, the words about his performance against Spain, in which the Napoli player appeared in terrible difficulty against Williams, capable of literally driving him mad, Di Lorenzo, in this sense, did not hide:

“I think I was also rightly criticized, I had a bad night. Then I know I’m not the player who played against Spain and I carry on like this. I continue to work and give my best, when someone makes a mistake it’s right to be criticized. I’m happy for the coach, I have a good relationship with him and I can also honestly say that if there had been another coach I wouldn’t have played. This is very important to me.
Calafiori eventually joined this group but immediately showed great personality, he is a super positive guy. I’m happy for him and also for Zaccagni who had found little space and then scored the decisive goal. it’s a group of great footballers, but also good people. We will have to improve, but the attitude is the right one, I’m sure we will get great satisfaction.”

In short, a Di Lorenzo who is sure of himself, but aware that he can do more, especially under the guidance of his footballing father.
