Calzona: “Now we can’t talk about objectives. We have the duty to finish as best we can…”

Calzona: "Ora non possiamo parlare di obiettivi. Abbiamo il dovere di finire al meglio..."

Did you have the feeling that there might be a reaction from the team? This is one of the questions asked at the press conference Francesco Calzonacoach of Naples that two days before the match against the Rome – match valid for the 34th matchday of Serie A – he responded thus: “So far we have created a lot but defended poorly, while the match in Empoli also showed some offensive problems and this worried me. I made this known to the boys, at the beginning of the week they were very dejected. We have a duty to work on the field and finish this championship in the best possible way, we owe it to the city. The training went quite well, we started subdued but today I saw that the right enthusiasm has also returned We have to take responsibility, it’s right that I take it first.”

Then in another passage he added: “I hope and hope that pride will come out, we are playing against a team that is doing very well and I expect a great match in terms of pride and motivation. Champions League objective? We have thrown away opportunities. At the moment we are not able to make plans, we have to think game after game and now we are also in a condition that does not allow us to be the sole architects of our future, it also depends on our opponents.”

Spinazzola talks about the 18 minutes plus recovery in Udine: “We knew we had to go in at two thousand”

Spinazzola racconta i 18

“It was complicated to prepare for it, I’m very sincere. We wanted this victory, we could have done even better but we’re happy for Ndicka, this stadium reminded us of that episode and we have to thank all the citizens of Udine. We’re happy and we’re moving forward.” So he spoke Leonardo Spinazzolato the microphones of DAZNafter Udine’s victory achieved last night in 18 minutes plus injury time thanks to Cristante’s late goal: “The feeling is that we could have won the match but it was tough, 20′ is a short time and it’s difficult to understand how to approach. Now we have to continue because we have 8 super important games.”

What is the approach for 20 minutes?
“We knew we had to go in at two thousand, but we were aware that they would attack and we had to keep a balance, we risked once but I think it was offside. It went well.”

Exciting season finale.
“We can’t manage all this, luckily we’ve been used to playing each other a lot every year for a few years, how can we manage it? Now let’s think about Napoli and Leverkusen, we have to win them all.”

Background Felipe Anderson, Al Shabab wanted him in Arabia: they asked for 10 million a year

Retroscena Felipe Anderson, in Arabia lo voleva l

TMW

Felipe Anderson has been dissolving his reservations about his future for several days now. The Brazilian attacking winger whose contract with La. is expiring Lazio he decided not to renew the contract with the Biancoceleste club, but also to reject Juventus’ advances to return to Brazil. He signed with Palmeirasa club with which he signed a contract valid until December 2027.

In recent months an Arab club has also made concrete moves for him. It is about theAl Shabab, a club that plays in the Saudi Pro League. During the negotiations that lasted a couple of months, the South American footballer never closed off the possibility of moving to Saudi Arabia, but at the same time made a decidedly important financial request: 10 million euros net per season.
After weeks of negotiations, however, the offer that Al Shabab was ready to present was of a different size: 5 million euros as a fixed portion plus the same amount in bonuses. A proposal very distant from the request of the Brazilian who, at that point, decided to no longer evaluate the Arab option. And to sign with Palmeiras.

Claudio Lotito recently expressed himself as follows on Felipe Anderson’s decision to return to Brazil: “He called me, reluctantly, despite having also had the reassurance of a future prospect, he made a family choice and I cannot reproach him for anything also because he assured me that he would give his best until the end of his experience at Lazio”.

Tomorrow Juve-Milan, Pioli: “We just have to react.” And he announces: “Leao will be captain”

Domani Juve-Milan, Pioli: "Non ci resta che reagire". E annuncia: "Leao sarà capitano"

With the derby over, it’s time for Milan to return to the pitch tomorrow in the very delicate match at the Allianz Stadium against Juventus (kick-off at 6pm). The day before, the Rossoneri coach held a press conference Stefano Pioli he analyzes the moment like this: “What is the point of these last matches? We want to demonstrate who we are, that we are Milan. What is needed tomorrow? We will have to fight, give our all, as if it were the last match: be concentrated, determined. We want to defend the second place”.

What days were they?
“We cannot stop at recent disappointments, we must necessarily have the desire and pride to seek redemption. To remain united and fight until the end. We are professionals, we too suffer from this situation but we have the duty to get up and have broad shoulders “.

Do you think the team gave everything? “Yes, he gave everything; but we didn’t always put our best qualities on the pitch. Inter has been the strongest team in the championship for four years and has won two championships, we have never been the strongest and we fought, giving everything mentally. We weren’t always able to raise our level of play.”

Have the last ten days been the most difficult of your management? And will Leao be captain with Juve?
“In these almost five years there have been very negative moments, like this one. It is also the closest and therefore, for me, it is also the most painful. I would give everything I have to change the results of the derbies, but it can’t be done I for one know that it’s part of my job. He’s going through it like all of us, it was a big pain for everyone to just react.”

Napoli, Folorunsho and Gaetano in the future: the two attacking midfielders will return from loans in July

Napoli, Folorunsho e Gaetano nel futuro: i due trequartisti torneranno a luglio dai prestiti

Reset and restart. Napoli, after winning the historic scudetto last year, went through a period of difficulty. Three technicians (Garcia, Mazzarri and now Calzona) and a ranking position that risks not reaching the European copies. We therefore look to the present but also to next season with the club which could implement various transfer moves to strengthen the squad. New signings but also returns from loans with two players who, reports today’s edition of Corriere dello Sportcould be suitable for the Neapolitans: Michael Folorunsho and Gianluca Gaetano.

Folorunsho’s performance
The Roman attacking midfielder is doing very well under the guidance of Marco Baroni at Verona. In the yellow and blue the player has scored four goals and one assist in the 31 games in which he has been involved, almost all as a starter, and is helping Hellas achieve salvation which would be very important.

Geatano’s statistics
The player born in Cimitile is also having an excellent part of the season. Having arrived in Cagliari in January, the class of 2000 has already collected three goals, the last of which in the 2-2 home draw against Juventus. Claudio Ranieri’s rossoblu are in full fight for salvation and from Naples they are monitoring the boy’s performances also with a view to the future.

Damiani: “Juventus, the season is still open. Thiago Motta is a great coach”

Damiani: "Juventus, la stagione è ancora aperta. Thiago Motta grande allenatore"

Interviewed by colleagues from Radio Bianconera, Oscar Damiani spoke about the moment that Massimiliano Allegri’s Juventus is going through at this end of the season: “The season is still open. In the event of a triumph in the Italian Cup, the judgment would be less negative, without prejudice to the enormous gap from Inter. Juve they alternated good performances with difficult moments. However, I don’t think they are a great team, they were when they had excellent players, now they have few.

There are good players, but without champions you don’t win. With respect to Allegri, I would first like to say that he is my friend. Then I consider him a great coach, he doesn’t play, the players go on the pitch. He needs elements capable of making a difference while still being functional. I don’t know if Max stays or not. In general, the story goes that comebacks are usually difficult.

In the past Allegri has won a lot, but it hasn’t been repeated. From the outside it’s difficult to judge, he certainly isn’t what he once was, even if he remains a great coach. Thiago Motta? First of all, I like him as a man, then I consider him to be a great coach. Be careful though, I don’t know if he will leave Bologna, let’s see. For Juve it would be ideal, but it won’t be easy to snatch him from the Emilian club.”
