“Genoa have found enthusiasm again at home, we know the difficulties we will encounter today but we are prepared. We will try to do what we have always done. We get Rrahmani back but we lost one who is very important to us, namely Di Lorenzo. I want to see the team’s reaction today. In difficulties we must exalt ourselves and give important answers. We are ready. Lukaku? This recovery process is progressing, you know very well how much Napoli missed him and how much Napoli is missing, he has been out of action since mid-August. He had a serious injury, the tendon in his kicking leg came off in his left leg. He is finding rhythm and intensity, but patience is needed. I won’t force my hand, these are situations that the player must feel. We hope he can be more available to us. We could use him with Hojlund up front. He is not yet the Romelu we know. Am I a sacred monster for De Rossi? He is predestined at bench level. I had the pleasure of coaching him in the national team, we did a European Championship together. Good boy, his dad is a coach, he will have a great career. Footballers are the only people you can trust when they have to make an opinion on someone.”

The simplest thing was that he was always consistent with what he told us in training, I took a lot from him and Spalletti, people who convinced you with their consistency and rectitude. It’s exciting for me to appear on these stages and challenge these sacred monsters. Amorim? During the transfer market we looked a lot for a non-static playmaker, one who doesn’t move from midfield, but who is dynamic and aggressive. We have several strong players in this role, but in these first training sessions he has shown us good legs: he will show us a lot. Amorim like me? Ninth, he has more quality…”.
