Naples – AC Milan: a "little fatigue", says the Neapolitan coach Spalletti

Luciano Spalletti, coach of Naples, after the elimination in the quarter-finals of the Champions League against AC Milan, in a press conference: “Kvaratskhelia? He has an extraordinary quality. Like others, he arrived a little out of breath, we have seen lately that some players have arrived with a little fatigue, without having recovered very well. (…) He will still bring us his quality for this great objective that awaits us. We need it. What was missed? I told you, we were a bit out of form. Osimhen (back from injury, editor’s note) fought to the end but he only trained for three days. And so close to such a match, it’s not very high intensity training. The defeat in the league against Milan (0-4, April 2) did not disturb us, no. On the other hand, the international break yes, because three players came back injured, others very tired. But that’s no excuse. During these two matches (in the Champions League, editor’s note), we did great things and it made me happy to see the stadium fighting with the team again this evening.
