Napoli, Leonardo Spinazzola enraptured by Romelu Lukaku

These are the words to Radio CRC Leonardo Spinazzola explaining the changes in Napoli after the arrival of the new striker: "I was lucky enough to play with Lukaku at Roma and at the first training session with him we already felt a different weight inside the team, inside the plays we manage to make. He is putting in a lot, a lot of gasoline and I don’t know how his body will respond, but è already changed in a week. He does an incredible job for the team. È an incredible target: having him or not having him changes your world. You can throw even a bad ball thereì and with one sport he cleans it up".

Napoli's left back talks about the preparation work for the match with Cagliari in which Lukaku, who has given up games with the Belgian national team, also participated: "Last week,” Spinazzola explains, “we were few players, only ten left in Castel Volturno, and we focused more on the physical aspect, with little tactics. We lacked players from this point of view to be complete. Instead, this week with the return of the national team we started to put already important concepts for future matches. In Cagliari the biggest insidiousness è related to their counterattacks, I think they will close in, they will wait for the best moment to restart, to hurt us in the restarts. We are working on that. I also think that group unity is the most important element of the strength of our locker room, to which I combine the desire to reverse the previous year. With the whole group and staff, we want to bring along the fans'enthusiasm.

The 31-year-old outfielder also talks about the dialogue on the court with Kvaratskhelia: "&It is clear,” he said, “that we all still have to grow, we still have to find the complete understanding. With Kvara è very simple, we are facilitated to play with him: with one play he can make you open the field to the whole team. From me, Conte wants that like all the outside players in a 4-man midfield you have to cover the whole side, and then go and close on the second post in the offensive phase". Spinazzola closes by talking about his discovery of the beauty of Naples: "Monday,” he explains, “we went to San Gregorio Armeno, è it was beautiful, a place apart, really wonderful".
