Ancelotti, speech to the team: "You are the Napoli, you have to believe in yourself!". Disappointed players

Yesterday was a special day. Because the defeat of Rome was not easy to swallow. De Laurentiis even before the match against Roma he made his presence felt in the Capitoline hotel which hosted the team but the response of the Azzurri on the field disappointed him. He doesn't like speeches, Carlo Ancelotti, he would like every player to have antibodies in his DNA to get out of the moments. Yesterday morning he made a strong appeal to his sense of responsibility: he explains that this Naples is not worth this classic, because he first understands the value of this group and knows that the true face of the Azzurri is that shown in the twenty minutes of the first Olimpico time. And that does not include these declines. Who does not accept them. They are all there listening, speechless, disappointed, very bitter. He reiterates: "you are the Napoli, a strong team and you must believe in yourself, in your strength, remain compact. Without thinking about the classic points that do not tell the truth about your true value". But it is the discomfort that reigns in the group and this is the first enemy that Ancelotti wants to fight within hours of the most important match of this season start.

Winning tomorrow night means taking a step into history, because only twice has Napoli reached the round of 16. Defense without particular surprises, therefore, with Mario Rui confirmed on the left. The real dilemma is in attack, with Milik hardly risking the post: after the 5 goals in the league, the Polish striker dreams of the return of the goal in the Champions League where he has not scored for two years: exactly from the trip to Ukraine against Shakhtar Donetsk that nì 2-1. It was September 13th 2017. «In difficult moments, words are of little use. We must start all over again. Head to tomorrow already ", writes Polish on social media. Who will play from the shoulder? Given the performance of the Olimpico, it cannot be ruled out that it could affect Lozano. This is reported by today's edition of Il Mattino.
