Agostinelli: “With Spalletti, an unrepeatable year, we will never see that sparkling game again”

To the microphones of Radio Capriduring the sports program “Bordocampo”, spoke Andrea Agostinelliformer coach among many of Napoli. These are his statements: “I don’t think Conte makes an exaggerated turnover with Lecce. A couple of players do. I don’t think so many: this is what I think.”

On Lobotka and Gilmour. “Lobotka is a certainty. Gilmour is a good player. But in Italy he has to demonstrate something good. It seems that the conditions are there. There is, for me, a certain difference between the two, still. Because Lobotka is a certainty, while Gilmour is still a question mark, even if the conditions are good”.

On Lukaku: “I believe that Lukaku is the one who should score more goals than anyone else. Or almost. But if it were only him who scored goals I would be worried: it wouldn’t be a winning team. The attacker must score goals, but he must also open up spaces. I don’t care that he scores 20 goals and the others score zero. I’m interested that he scores 12 or 13, but then in all departments there are people who score goals. So it’s more about the team.”

On the Scudetto race: “Compared to last year or two years ago, there will not be, and I can take this for certain, a team that will extend and make the championship alone. As happened to Inter and Napoli. There is leveling: each of these teams there were some problems. Napoli, however, did not. Napoli lost the first match badly a simple reason: it was one of those unrepeatable years that not even a coach knows how they happen. To say: last year’s Inter, Napoli, Sacchi’s Milan. I don’t know how many teams were splendid in the victories and in entertainment. That will never happen for Napoli to fight for the Scudetto, absolutely.”
