Walter Mazzarri, spoke to DAZN microphones after the draw with Lazio: “I am very satisfied; we played against a strong side.”
“I am very satisfied today; we had a very strong team in front of us. Last year, Napoli won the Scudetto, but Lazio came in second. They have a strong squad. We had many absentees today, it wasn’t easy. Today, I had confirmation that I have great men at my disposal, and I am happy. We are starting to see something that I like.”
TRANSFER MARKET: “I have the merit and flaw of talking a lot with my players. You saw how Zielinski responded, and I would like to give a big compliment to Demme: today, he responded greatly, and it pleased me a lot.”
ZIELINSKI AND OSIMHEN: “With an honest guide, I am telling them how things are, then they just have to respond on the field. They have a contract; they are here and must give their best. Otherwise, I will take them off the field after twenty minutes; they will have to do what everyone did today from now until the end of the season. We’re missing a few points, but if we continue to play as a team, I’m sure we can climb up.”
FUTURE FORMATION: “It also depends on the available players. I adapt the formation to the players I have; today, this setup seemed the most appropriate for many reasons. When Simeone, Osimhen, and Kvara return, we can go with 3-4-3 or even 4-3-3. Today, the team was solid and balanced, and if it remains so, it can play with all three systems.”
STANDINGS – “Many things have happened, we had many players who have to leave, and many injuries. I think of Oliveira, who got injured in Bergamo. It’s never easy to repeat a success.”
