Napoli, Spalletti clarifies hierarchy on penalties

Napoli conquered La Spezia

Fifth consecutive league victory for Luciano Spalletti’s Napoli. The partenopei got the better of Spezia thanks to Victor Osimhen’s double and a penalty scored by Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, who opened the scoring.

In the post-match, at the microphones of Dazn, the former Inter coach spoke precisely about the hierarchy from the eleven meters: “The penalty taker is Kvara, but even today they talked to each other because there are so many shooters. Kvara is very available, but today I did not want him to be available.”

Then a look at his team’s performance: “Today the team showed maturity in a game on such a field, on this ground and in front of certain fans. We were ready. There were difficulties, Spezia was very orderly and took away space from us on depth. In the first half we did not create chances, although some momentum was given. The second half episode paved the way for us but the team continued to do what I wanted to do to take home the result.”
