Nela: “This Udinese also knows how to have fun, with her quality in Naples she can play it”

UDINE. Between the draw steeped in regret with Roma and the challenge that promises to be complicated Saturday afternoon at Maradona against Napoli.

The week of Udinese, marked by the commitments that reserved the calendar until the break, also summarizes the career of Sebino Nela, the current Rai commentator to whom Antonello Venditti dedicated the song “Correndo corendo” to have entered history. Giallorossi with the historic 1983 championship.

After eleven years in Rome, the former full-back born in Rapallo in ’61 then made two in Naples, where Nela foresees for Udinese “an uphill match, but not prohibitive for the good game expressed against the Giallorossi”.

Nela, what is your opinion on the bianconeri seen at work against your former Roma?

“Extremely flattering because Udinese not only played a good match against a tired Roma, but also showed that they enjoyed themselves.”

To have fun? It is an unusual judgment on Udinese …

“Oh yes? I, on the other hand, saw a team that had fun also by virtue of its technical quality, an obvious basis for saying that the team is not part of the battle for salvation.

For me Udinese have character, race, they also put them in terms of rhythm with Roma and these are all prerogatives to put anyone in difficulty, therefore also Napoli ».

After the match against Mourinho, is Cioffi ready to fight Spalletti too?

“I spoke to Cioffi twice, both in connection with Rai after just as many Udinese victories, and so I can’t afford to judge him, but as far as I’ve seen I must say that he knows how to put the team on the pitch well and his Udinese knows how to play very well to football. And here I stop because I am old fashioned ».

What do you mean?

«I believe that judgments on a coach should be spent after seeing him work for a long time on the pitch, always keeping in relation the quality of the squad and the availability of the moment given by the players, who are the ones who determine the results.

The coach must be good at reading the game, knowing when to make substitutions, but it is always the players who determine ».

To be honest, he also determined the referee with Roma …

«I thought that with the introduction of the Var all the referees could get a 7 in the report card. And instead we are here to see various reinterpretations of the regulation, rather than of the protocol, with the consequence that we have seen too many absurd decisions ».

So it wasn’t a penalty for you too?

«I would go back to the full voluntariness or involuntariness of the hand ball in the area and therefore you have to explain the voluntariness to me if I am attached to the opponent and the ball reaches my arm.

I find it hard to understand, also because one gets the impression that the referees know the rules, but not the dynamics of the game ».

About the game. What could be another move by Cioffi in Naples, after having troubled Roma on his left wing?

«I don’t know, but a good coach has to look for the faults of others. Udinese on Sunday played on Zalewski, who is adapted to the role of winger and in addition he had no support from his team-mates. In that role you must have a reference midfielder ».

Udinese, on the other hand, is building its results on Pereyra, the reference midfielder for everyone.

«It is the demonstration that you can play football with players of different characteristics. Udinese had De Paul, now Pereyra, also because Pirlo or Totti are not born every day. Rather, a player who could do much more, but takes too much pleasure in his skill, is Deulofeu ».

Doesn’t the Catalan convince you?

«It is the whimsical classic that sometimes exaggerates and, above all, mistakes important choices. The closer you get to the area, the more concrete you need to be ».

Does Udinese have the Beto problem?

“I hear great things about him, then he always seems to be missing something. Well the commitment and the occupation of the field, the thrust is missing ». –
