Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti expressed his happiness with the exciting draw that his team achieved against Leicester City in the European League, after the Italian team snatched an exciting draw from Leicester City in a deadly time, with a score of 2-2 in the group stage matches of the European League, which was held on… King Power Stadium.
“The team started the right way, then lost the ball several times from behind and that was expensive,” Spalletti told Sky Sport Italia after the match.
“After that, we took the initiative all the time and it was a perfectly balanced match, we reacted to receiving the second goal just as we were really pushing it, and that was a risky situation, because we could have given up in the game.”
Spalletti added, “Instead, we pressed more and controlled the match and were able to adjust, because frankly it would have been unfair if we lost this match.”

“We saw today that this team has a strong character, which was a weakness in previous years,” Spalletti stressed. “The team reacted really well.”
The Napoli coach explained: “I want to commend those who came from the bench, because they have proven their quality and this makes it easier for everyone, because they are not fighting to replace another team-mate, but to play alongside him.”
On his top scorer Osimene, Spalletti said: “Osimene still has some things to learn and after that he will become a professional striker. The comparisons are easy, but they will be with some of the best strikers in the world.”
Spalletti continued: “He needs to improve the accuracy of his choices, both in the finishing touches and in the running, because sometimes he runs for no reason.”
