Massimiliano Allegri spoke to DAZN before the match with Frosinone, highlighting the importance of the recovery of some key players and the need to create the conditions for a victory. The Napoli coach underlined that, during the break, many members of the team were called up to the national team, so he focused above all on physical recoveries.
Among the players that Allegri mentioned, the first concern is that of Politano, whose form has not been satisfactory in recent days. “Politano hasn't been well,” said the coach, suggesting adopting a more defensive approach with Di Lorenzo's presence on the pitch. The coach also expressed hope to see Anguissa and the other players who are currently out due to injury or illness on the pitch soon.
Allegri also spoke about the role of McTominay, who will remain on the bench. “With enthusiasm he can have thirty minutes available,” he explained, highlighting the player's desire to contribute when he trains and when he plays. The coach reiterated that, with so many games scheduled, it is essential that all the players are fit to give their best.
The coach then asked Neres and Badiashile to demonstrate their reliability on the field, recalling that football is a game in which mistakes can be overcome. “The player's value does not decrease or increase because of a mistake,” he said, inviting the team to remain calm and focus on the result.
Finally, Allegri outlined his vision for the change of formation, aiming for a more defensive approach with Di Lorenzo in the central position. “It's just a question of putting someone more defensive like Di Lorenzo because Politano hasn't been very well in the last 2-3 days,” he concluded, underlining that the choice will not drastically change the structure of the team. With the next match scheduled for Tuesday, Napoli is preparing to make the most of the resources available and try to consolidate their position in the standings.
