Champions, Napoli: Walter Mazzarri does not hide his bitterness

Walter Mazzarri does not hide his bitterness

Satisfied with the performance but bitter about the result. That's, in a nutshell, the thoughts of Walter Mazzarri, speaking after his Napoli team's 2-4 loss against Real Madrid (a result that matured in the final after having long cherished the idea of winning at the 'Bernabeu' the point-qualification) at the microphones of 'Prime Video'.

"We created the preconditions to win the match, but on the più beautiful we took the 3-2 – said the coach of St. Vincent -. I am pleased with the test in general, but we should have been more careful, if not win we could have at least tied".

"We knew Real Madrid were deadly on the restarts,” Mazzarri added, “at 2-2 we had to remain calm, we were in no hurry to go and score. However, the good performance remains, since I arrived I have found an exceptional group, united. With these human values at our disposal we canò work well".

Mazzarri also spoke about Victor Osimhen's employment, limited to the resumption: "It was a planned change,” he explained, “the doctor had told me that he could play 20-25 minutes against Atalanta, today we tried to give him a half. The idea è to have him at the top against Inter, but we have to be careful not to force anything".
