Napoli, for Luciano Spalletti you still have to wait to ‘uncork bottles and heart’

Luciano Spalletti’s words after the victory against Juventus

Victory against Juventus in the utlimo breath brings Napoli ever closer to its third Scudetto in history. For Luciano Spalletti, however, it is not yet time to celebrate: “They are nice bricks heavy on the final victory, so rightly the players had a bit of a celebration, since the goal came in the second half. When you bring home a win in the dying minutes there is even more happiness. But we have to wait to uncork bottles and hearts, it still takes some time,” the Certaldo coach stressed to Dazn’s microphones. “I congratulated the team because they played a good game after their exit from the Champions League, which is always dramatic because you get a lot of thoughts and you carry some fatigue with you. To do more than that today was difficult. In the second half we were even more dangerous.”

“If you are all together and all good the joys are double – continued the coach of the partenopei -. Sometimes you do that to defend some situations. There are those who take the talk where they please, but it’s all in the game. We also played the game we wanted to play today. Sometimes games are the daughters of even unintended episodes and contexts. Doing everything the same way rewards you in the long run, and I think this team richly deserved this place in the standings. My path? I have not traveled to the window seat, I have always hitchhiked. Being in a position to win this Scudetto repays you for all the sacrifices you’ve made. Now and then I was taken for a ride because ave, but what I suffered to have those shoes there when I couldn’t buy them I remember well. Because I suffered a few times before, I put them on this year. I’ve had a harder road than others who start from different levels, and it’s probably fair for them too because in their playing careers they’ve been good at gaining esteem enough to start from a higher level.”
