Napoli, Walter Mazzarri has two clear targets in mind

Walter Mazzarri’s words ahead of Napoli-Braga

On the eve of the very delicate challenge against Braga valid for the last day of the Champions League group stage, Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri, among the various topics discussed in the press conference, wanted to send a clear message to his players and fans. In addition, the former Cagliari coach also dwelt on the emergency in defense.

"Tomorrow è fundamental first of all to pass the round, I think this team has shown it can play soccer and must continue to do so. We need to regain the balance and solidity of last year and concede fewer goals. I would like to see a team that is compact and that defends and attacks fully, all the things we have been lacking in so far. Against Juventus and Inter we played well, but we need to be more concrete and pass the round by showing something good" began the coach of the partenopei.

"We are in an emergency, but I am not going to switch to a three-man defense. I came here with the idea of playing with four, but on the left side we are lacking and Natan is doing what he canò. I expect more of a push from him in the offensive phase, forò itè s not easy for him. On the left side Zanoli can also play, è he is back from injury and we will see what can happen. The important thing is that we are compact, because on the right side, for example, we play great soccer and we need to be able to express ourselves in the same way on the opposite lane as well,&#quot; continued the coach of the Champions of Italy.

"I do not see fear, but only a little bit of lack of tranquility, because there are times when everything goes wrong and the team suffers. Tomorrow it will be fundamental to regain certainty, we must be strong, avoid conceding counterattacks and making defensive mistakes. We will face a club that makes the restarts their best weapon, so we will have to be even more careful not to go into suffering" concluded Walter Mazzarri.
