We would have lost energy anyway, we would have returned at five in the morning anyway. You try to play a good game and then you also hear that it was better to lose. Napoli is a team that we met in the Cup, perhaps with several players who are not always in the starting lineup, but are part of a very important squad and are players of great stature. We will certainly find a team as concentrated as it has been since the beginning of the championship. It will be a good testing ground for us, a huge exam and we will try to face it in the best possible way », she said. Meanwhile, the leaders do not want to stop: «We know their strength, we, Inter, Juve, Milan. We won with a large score, but the second goal came at the last minute – he comments Spalletti — Cremonese never misses the match, it’s difficult to give them the knockout blow, they always have a reaction, they know how to defend themselves and restart the ball on the ground or with a long game with Ciofani who catches any ball and makes it playable to get his teammates up. It’s a fundamental match for us, as we also said against Spezia».
