Napoli market, Giovanni Manna speaks out on Lorenzo Insigne

Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna spoke to Sky Sport microphones in the pre-match match of Napoli-Qarabag: “Special day, we would like to bring home the three points even for Maradona“.

“There is absolutely to bring the three points home. We face a strong and tough opponent who plays soccer and has both speed and quality going forward. It will not be easy and the game must be interpreted in the right way. We come from a positive performance and we need to continue on that energetic track. Unfortunately, we lost an important player like Gutierrez again yesterday, we are counted but we will sell our skins dearly”.

Chapter new signings: “It is not an alibi. When you put nine people, I’m not talking about players but people, within the group it’s not immediate that the chemistry clicks right away. They have been here for six months now and we expect answers and confirmations, with the coach giving continuity because they are working well. There is confidence in the group and we hope to play an important game”.

“Will any reinforcements arrive in January? We made a numerically important market, spending enough. Unfortunately, we are limited in numbers in the middle of the field and the January market is difficult. We will have to be ready for opportunities”.

Explanation on Insigne, who has also been mentioned to Lazio: “He doesn&#8220t even go on the list because he is home formed… We talked with him this summer as well, I think you know, and we made assessments. Right now we have other issues and therefore other priorities, because in the middle of the field we are really counted. If purchases will be made they will be made there. However, Insigne is an important footballer”.
