It’s only Tuesday but the championship returns to knock on the doors of the twenty Serie A teams. A few hours after the match at Naples (which will be broadcast free-to-air by DAZN for the first time), the technician of Milan Paulo Fonseca spoke like this about the big match against the Azzurri, which for the Rossoneri team comes after a weekend of waiting, given the postponement of the match against Bologna: “Napoli is a very strong team, as shown by the ranking, with a very strong coach He’s in good shape, he’s winning, he’s in first place, we’ll be very motivated too”, said the Lusitanian coach today during the press conference on the eve of the match.
“The postponement? “It was difficult to manage this moment. The day before the match we didn’t know if we were playing or not, we could have done another training… We wanted to play. We were very penalized by the postponement. We wanted to play with Bologna also because now against Napoli we will be without two important suspended players. Then, the team trained well and I have confidence in all the players, including those who will play in Theo and Reijnders’ position. Nothing has changed about Camarda: he always works well and what I think of him has been confirmed, that is, that he is a player with a great future.”
No pre-match conference for Conte, Alex Meret spoke at Napoli: “We are teams used to playing every three days, even if we don’t have the cups this year but we prepare the matches in the same way. Maybe they had a few days of rest plus, but this doesn’t mean anything, when we go on the pitch we will give 100% and if we are focused as we are doing, will we be able to get some satisfaction from the Scudetto? It’s certainly still too early to talk about it, but we are aware that we have achieved a great first half of the season and we want to continue like this, trying to think game after game and with our feet firmly on the ground.”
