Napoli, after the draw with Roma, asked coach Massimiliano Allegri to review the strategy in view of the match against Monza. The press conference, held at 2pm at the Castel Volturno technical centre, saw Allegri explain the reasons behind his tactical decisions and address the criticisms that emerged after the match with Roma.
Allegri reiterated that the disqualification is not the main problem, but the inability to convert a good match into three points. He said he had decided to abandon the appeal and could ask for more points if necessary. He stressed that the sentences reported by some media may have been misunderstood and called for the matter to be closed, focusing instead on the work to be done to improve the ranking. He highlighted the need to optimize the distribution of the game, especially in key moments, and to better manage shots conceded, especially in the second halves.
Regarding the team's preparation, Allegri spoke about key players such as Anguissa, Vergara and Hojlund, underlining the importance of having them play regularly to maintain physical fitness. He also mentioned the possibility of giving more opportunities to Lucca, who showed good performances in the pre-season.
Finally, the coach reiterated that the team is behind in the rankings and that the future will depend on the constant improvement of each match. Tomorrow at 8.45pm, Napoli will face Monza, where they will have to demonstrate that they have reversed the negative trend.
