The Naples is out of European cups after 14 consecutive participations. Calzona’s Azzurri were unable to keep hope alive by beating the team at home Lecce of Gotti already safe for weeks, because the home match valid for the 38th round of Serie A ended 0-0 with two posts hit by the hosts and an external post hit by the guests. There is therefore nothing to be done for the Neapolitan team, which in the space of a year went from winning a historic Scudetto to an anonymous tenth place in the standings, punctuated in the afternoon by the boos of all of Diego Armando Maradona.
Mister Francesco Calzona’s analysis in the press conference
“The exit from the Champions League was a setback. This situation of winning every Sunday weighed heavily, we didn’t have the strength to win the matches. We have a very high average of goals scored on opponents’ chances. This certainly created problems for us Even today we conceded something to Lecce, even though we create a lot. Why resign? I didn’t come to Naples for money, I don’t see any reason for that. If I had seen a team that wasn’t following me, then… but it’s not nothing happened. At the sports center there were only confrontations, as happens in every team. By resigning I would have also put the club that chose me in difficulty.”
Mister Luca Gotti’s analysis in the press conference
“In the first half, Napoli started strong, then gave us spaces that we weren’t able to exploit. At the end of the first half I was very angry because we could have done much more damage. If we have any merit, it is that of having withstood the attack for the entire the match. We have always bothered him, we have always had that vitality to go and take space and do badly. Future? We don’t have an appointment scheduled, I will stay in Salento for a few more days to enjoy it and then we will sit at a table with great serenity. The long-term vision has characteristics in common, I don’t see any major problems even if in football you shouldn’t take anything for granted.”
