Francis Calzona enjoys the debut

The words of Francis Calzona

Francesco Calzona, Napoli’s new coach, spoke to Prime microphones after the Maradona’s draw against Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. "Clearly we have a lot to work on, but I congratulated the team that has found the will to fight. At the tactical level we made progress, we fielded players from the African Cup of Nations who were not at their best, we conceded changes of game, balls between the lines and conceding all this to a team of this level makes you take risks. In the final the team believed it could win the game and è an important signal, usually in the finals there'è the drop but è excellent spirit".

"What did I è like the most? Definitely the spirit of the team, the players were not up for losing the game. I è did not like the disorder on the field, in two days you can not do miracles and who è took over put things back in place by giving sap to the team".

"The team did not è give up? In the first half hour we suffered, the team reacted even in disorder and this thing è fundamental. This gift of fighting until the end against a team of this caliber makes me satisfied".
