Napoli, Walter Mazzarri apologizes and updates on Victor Osimhen’s condition
Walter Mazzarri’s words after Napoli-Genoa
Napoli did not è manage to go beyond the 1-1 draw at home against Genoa. At the end of the match, at the microphones of "DAZN", Neapolitan coach Walter Mazzarri bluntly analyzed the performance of his boys. In addition, the former Cagliari man wanted to provide an update regarding Victor Osimhen's physical condition and the Nigerian's chances of being available for the crucial Champions League match against Barcelona.
"The footballers do what they can, it turns out badly for us. We feel sorry for the public, they deserve more. This year è we have to shut up and pedal. Those few mistakes we make must be improved, we take goals at the first yawn, we do not. It is not è easy to give explanations" began the Napoli coach.
"In the first half we did not create big chances, but in 2-3 situations we could have unlocked the game. If Genoa had gone into a disadvantage there would have been nothing to say, we would have seen another Napoli. Playing against teams that close in defense is not è easy. We have to give satisfaction to these people, starting with the Champions League. We have to try to work on that smear that led to the goal. We stay so much in the opponent’s half of the field, but we fail to take the lead and this contracts the team" continued the'former coach of Torino and Cagliari.
"The players show every Sunday that they care about us, if it had been otherwise they would have played a different game. Barcelona è a very strong team will not come here to make barricades, we will not have to make the assault as we did today and as it often happens. When we get unbalanced, they start on the counterattack and we get mocked. On Wednesday we have to play our game and hopefully give our fans a joy" added the St. Vincent native.
"According to him and the doctors è he was at his lowest, he had contractures. I think after the African Cup of Nations it was not the case to risk him and then have to lose him again for a few months. The player has recovered energy, tomorrow he will train and we hope to have him ready for Barcelona. His presence will not be certain, since I arrived I have never had him" Walter Mazzarri commented on Victor Osimhen.
