Luciano Spalletti said in statements to “Dazn” network: “Today we achieved a good result, but in the first half we found Sampdoria creating some difficulties, especially in light of the counter-attacks they were launching behind the defenses.”
Spalletti added: “We are so happy for Osimeon because he works so hard in everything he does.”
The Napoli coach explained: “It was a good result today, but Sampdoria caused problems for us in the first half. The place where we deserve credit is to finish our chances well.”.
Spalletti stressed: “Ospina put in a good performance in goal in the first half, attacking Sampdoria from the start, but that left big gaps behind their defense, and in those situations Osimene is devastating.”
Spalletti stressed: “When the match doesn’t go well, you have to try to get something out of the people and that’s what we did.”
On Frank Zampo Anguesa, Spalletti confirmed: “We lack strength and interference in other players, while he has these characteristics, that is not all, as he can also pass the ball and create play, but more than anything and what he realized is that he focuses his energy on filling those loopholes to help”.
