Walter Mazzarri’s words on the eve of the challenge with Genoa

Napoli coach Water Mazzarri spoke in a press conference on the eve of Saturday afternoon’s match against Genoa: "We just think about winning as many as possible, there are 17 important games between now and the end, 15 and two for now from the Champions League. Now we see who is well, who is coming back from injuries, but more or less we have everyone available and we are more confident to make wins. We will try to get as high as possible, 7 points is a lot, relatively a lot depending on what we will do. The others who are ahead of us have to come to us, tomorrow there are 50 thousand spectators, we have an exceptional audience and we will do what we have not been capable of so far".

Chapter Osimhen: "I heard him on the phone, how he was, there is continuous contact, now he will talk to us and we will see if he will be available to come to the bench. He&#39ll be here for the afternoon training. Let&#39s see how he is after those trips. If he is not well–then there are also the teammates who have been training. There are the trips, even me like after Madrid or something else…after the trips not è that we are fit. Osimhen è an outlier, but I have to respect those who train every day, sleep well, etc.".

"Points are made up by winning and hoping that the others don’t win. I talk to the players, it seems to me that Bologna and Atalanta have to come here and play: when we were full we went there and won. È it is possible to win with Bologna as well, or get a result away from home. We have to be more careful in the defensive phase, so we can think of recovering seven points with 45 points available between now and the end of the championship. Then it will comeò here to say that we tried, the boys know that their coach and the companyà will do everything to try to get fourth. The boys also have to take responsibility; as I do".

So he updated on the condition of Natan and Meret: " Natan è returned from two weeks, he trains well but to understand if he canò play è different: è at a good point to be able to return, we will see tomorrow. For Meret, I have to talk to the goalkeeper trainer, he è regularly trained and today in the refinement we will see whether to start him from the start or wait again".

"Nothing has è changed from the human point of view, but I have to figure out when he will be there with his head: we all know that he will probably go away, that he might have signed elsewhere, that he has had his visits in Milan. I would understand him if he è projected somewhere else and not focused like last year. We will evaluate each time whether we need him or not" concluded on Zielinski.
