It was not easy to win in Cagliari, but for Francesco Calzona, the three points missed in Sardinia are a regret. Napoli still can't win away from Maradona, the worst news for the new blue coach: «We knew that Cagliari closes the games in growth, we wasted a lot, but at least we were tidy, a very important thing for me» explained Calzona, who had actually debuted last week against Barcelona in the round of 16 of Champions League «Champions? Let's think about the next one. In the condition we are in, it's pointless to make plans. The fourth place will be complicated, but until the math condemns us...»
A goal away signed once again by Victor Osimhen: «Victor is fine, he was just tired at the end. We didn't close the game at the end, we had two important opportunities at the end, they had to be realized» he explained to Dazn «Above all, however, we had to be careful behind. I had also inserted Ostigard for this reason. Unfortunately, we didn't make it. Tomorrow we will start from the happy notes that there are anyway: we can't do anything else. Kvara replaced? He does everything to do what I ask him, sometimes even too much and loses sight of his qualities».
The midweek round at Sassuolo's home becomes even more decisive for Kvaratskhelia and his companions? «The problem is mental, the team is also physically well and we have also shown it today. There were no drops» is sure Calzona «I can blame the team for the management of the game: we knew it was a dirty game, the characteristics of Cagliari could put us in difficulty and we had to get into the dimension of the match. I spoke with the players these days, the team immediately made itself available, but it takes a little time: the problems are not solved in one day. We have to strive and start from availability: they surprised me positively, I thought I would find a different team. But now we depend on the results».
