Naples, 11 February 2022 – The wait is almost over: Saturday 12 February Everyone 18 al Maradona the first two of the class will compete. On the one handInter leaders returning from the derby lost in comeback and on the other a Naples who does not intend to stop and stop dreaming: word of Luciano Spalletti.
Between dreams and reality
The same Tuscan coach, however, immediately states that the real seasonal goal of the Azzurri remains access to Champions League. “We must always remember that we started with the intention of leaving behind some teams to return to where the club deserves, but winning this match would catapult us into another dimension. Already now we arrive with a smile on this appointment: it is a kind of atmosphere that we like to experience “. To strengthen the dreams of glory of the Naples now there is also Kalidou Koulibalyupon returning after the triumph in Africa Cup of Nations: great news that Spalletti welcomes with some reservations for a specific reason. “We are talking about an element that is different from the others from a sporting point of view but above all from a human point of view: let’s think about the fact that immediately after the penalties won by Senegal he went to console the opponents who had made a mistake. However, the fact remains that to allude now to his immediate return to the field would be a disrespect to those who have replaced him at best in this period. “Dreaming is beautiful but looking reality in the face is even more important: beyond ‘outcome of tomorrow’s race, Spalletti does not want to lose sight of the alleged difference in values that exists between Inter e Naples. “They, as reigning champions, are very well equipped: they will also still be angry about the derby lost in the last round. We respect them but we have no intention of changing our attitude: we have to face the Nerazzurri with the same determination we played at Venezia“.
Desire for redemption
To redeem for the Neapolitans there is the daring defeat of the first round, evidently still indigestible for the Tuscan coach. “After undergoing the 2-1 we conceded a lethal counterattack that brought them on 3-1: that action was the emblem of the many mistakes we made that day and the numerous turnovers ” Naples he has many reasons to redeem himself, he has even more Victor Osimhen, who was seriously injured one group ago: the Nigerian is also called to dispel the taboo that never sees him decisive against the big names. “In reality he has often been stopped in the pits: let’s play him and see what happens.”
