Spalletti: Inter are happy with the team's performance, but Napoli have not played their full capacity

Live bar February 13 news According to the Football Italia network, the 25th round of Serie A is a focus battle, Napoli drew 1-1 at home to Inter Milan. After the match, Napoli boss Spalletti admitted that he was "not sure what attitude to come up with" to look at the draw, and while he was "happy" with the result, "the team did not show its full ability".

Insigne scored on a penalty shortly after the opening, and then Zelinski also hit the upright, and Napoli, which had the advantage in the first half, had the opportunity to temporarily top the table with a victory, but only 30 seconds after the start of the second half, Dzeko's goal changed the trend of the game, so that the home team failed to avenge the 2-3 defeat at Milan in October last year. If AC Milan wins this round, it will temporarily finish first by surpassing both teams.

In an interview with DAZN," Spalletti said: "We have to maintain this feeling of playing lightly and happily based on our strengths. Sometimes we do it, and sometimes we don't. Only by doing this can a more ferocious and stronger team stand out. In order to win the game, we have to play our own characteristics. But we didn't, and we admit that after the equaliser, everything got more difficult. ”

Asked how Napoli was preparing to counteract the threat of visiting midfielder Brozovic or two attacking wing-backs, Spalletti said: "Any 4-2-3-1 match against two B2B wing-backs like Inter needs to have two full-backs defending in high positions or arranging for midfielders to go to these areas. Tonight, my team has taken the right approach for a long time, but in some cases we could have done better. When the opponent made the most of this advantage, we conceded the ball and also regained the ball. And when we can't control the ball, it's even more difficult for us. ”

Asked if just getting a draw was a missed opportunity, especially with an early lead, Spalletti said: "We have to accept everything we see on the pitch and these games do teach us a lesson and let us improve. Overall, we played very well, there were a lot of chances to score a second goal, but we failed to take those chances. After that, we couldn't maintain control of the ball, and the opponent's physical advantage began to play. ”

"I'm very happy with the 1 point and the team's performance because overall we played well and even though we didn't play so well in the second half we still had some really good chances. You've grown up from games like this, because against a really solid team, these experiences will allow you to learn and improve. ”

Napoli are still in the race for the league title before welcoming Barcelona in the Europa League knockout rounds. Spalletti added: "These are all important games and it's worth using a strong team posture with our chests up. I want the team to be able to maintain that intensity and talent for a full 90 minutes. Venice, Inter Milan, Barcelona, these competitions can test how good we are. We want to push our limits. ”

"The players were happy in the dressing room, yes, but we didn't show everything we could do. This is a bit of a pity. We really don't know what attitude to show for this result. ”

Speaking about Striker Osmayne, who was heavily guarded by Inter, Spalletti suggested that he should perhaps be more enthusiastic. He said: "He has amazing potential. But sometimes he played outside the team because he went to play 11 and didn't seem to know that his teammates weren't backing up. I told him to run to the horn at the right time because he was a waste of energy to let himself run like that. ”

"He's physically strong, he's fast, he's tough in the air and he's shot good. But he's inexperienced and needs to learn when to run and when to pull back, because it will keep him separated from his teammates. ”
