According to Tasnim news agency, Luciano Spalletti, whose students suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat against Milan last night (Sunday) in the 28th week of the Italian Serie A, said in an interview with “DAZN” TV channel after the match: “Milan It showed an excellent performance. They started the game strong and made the most of the opportunities we gave them and used the spaces intelligently.
He added: Our performance was lower than our usual level and the effort of our players to change the situation made us provide even more space to Milan and they used this advantage well. We offered Milan the spaces between the lines and they also took advantage of these spaces. We didn’t do our job well, especially in hand-to-hand combat.
The head coach of Napoli also stated about the absence of several of his key players in this match: Mathias Oliver and Piotr Zielinski returned from the national matches with physical problems, and Victor Osimhan was also injured, so we were a bit unlucky at this point in the season, but Milan are also nationals. There were many who accompanied their country’s teams in this window of national games.
With the defeat, their third defeat of the season, Napoli remained on 71 points but still lead Serie A, 16 points clear of their closest pursuers Lazio.
