Luciano Spallettitoday a guest in Jesi, spoke to the microphones of Sky of his national team and not only in a long speech: “Mancini has done an excellent job, we must inherit it and it will serve as an incentive for us to do better. We see this enthusiasm that there is in Italy to help us, we are happy those who bring this feeling. We want this sense of belonging to this shirt to be recognized. We must be at the level. The national team is the highest point of my career. I will give my best.”
On Naples: “I was surprised by the failure to qualify for the Cups. Napoli has a great team, with great players and a squad of the highest level. I don’t know what happened, it’s clear that changing three coaches creates some problems. But there’s no doubt about the value of the players are doubtful. Napoli has great champions, otherwise it wouldn’t have been possible to do what we did.”
Conte is the right man for Napoli?
“I don’t know, he’s certainly an expert man. Any advice for him in managing the relationship with De Laurentiis? At a certain point I kept quiet and listened because he knows a lot about things – he declared to Sky microphones -. He he is the one who brought football back to Naples after it had fallen into disgrace and built great teams by bringing in important players. We will have to choose the right moments to talk to him and also know how to listen because he knows many things.”
On Italian football: “We saw many things done well. We must congratulate Bologna, Atalanta, Roma who played important football. Inter deservedly won, for us it is the team block that we bring to the national team. I’m sorry for Frosinone’s relegation because they had worked very well. Sometimes football penalizes you for not having deserved those difficulties.”
On Scamacca: “I made him play against Ukraine and against England, what should I be surprised about? He is one of the three central strikers of the national team. For me it is very important, we must return the gift that was given to him with the blue shirt granted. I thank Gasperini because under his guidance he has shown important things. If we succeed, I am convinced that we can go and play on par with many realities that are stronger than us for now, we have to go back to history and with the ‘Fantastic 5’ we can do it and it will make everything clear right away.
