Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti looked ahead to the Azzurri\u2019s first match back after the international break in a press conference on Saturday. They will face the Rossoneri at the Stadio Maradona, but they will have to do so without their talisman Victor Osimhen. \u201cWe\u2019ve got a triple-header coming up against Milan. Being without Osimhen is a big blow, but Giovanni Simeone has proven his worth. He\u2019s a striker who can use his head or his feet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stefano Pioli said that Napoli have won seven games without Osimhen:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s true. When we\u2019re without Victor, the team have been able to make up for it and come out winners. We always approach our games in the Napoli way and players like Cholito have also made a huge difference this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis team can handle anyone being missing because everyone has given something extra this year and we\u2019ve played really well, even when facing top opposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll reiterate that losing Osimhen is a big blow, but Simeone can play with his head or his feet. Right from the start, he took on the role he was meant to have and when someone is intelligent, they manage to make their mark even when they don\u2019t get much opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn terms of the way we\u2019ll play, not much will change. Giovanni can go deep, protect the ball, be involved in great link-up play and score goals. Obviously, Osimhen is very quick, and you don\u2019t get them much quicker than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis year, Simeone deserved to get more minutes than he has, but it\u2019s tough when you have such a star like Osimhen in the squad too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are confident. They\u2019re a triple threat because they\u2019re the reigning champions, they eliminated Tottenham in the Champions League and they\u2019ve strengthened their squad since becoming the Italian champions. We\u2019re fully aware that we\u2019re facing a very good side. \u201cMilan gave us trouble both last year and this year when we played them. We know how good they are and what strength in depth they have in their squad. They\u2019re a team who can play it out from the back but who can open games up by kicking it long and hitting on the counter. They also have a striker who is a real threat in the area. Pioli knows how good his team are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will it also be a psychological test, given that you have three games against them in three weeks?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m curious to see the two Champions League matches especially, because the Champions League is a real source of motivation. I\u2019m expecting my players to show great character and mentality to do well whatever the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is Raspadori doing?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRaspadori is available. He\u2019ll be on the bench to begin with tomorrow, but he\u2019ll be ready to come on whenever necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does it feel seeing Naples covered in flags?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSeeing Napoli flags everywhere fills us with joy. We\u2019re not there yet because it\u2019s all still to be decided. We\u2019re focused on what happens on the pitch and we won\u2019t lose sight of what we still need to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t think we\u2019ve won it already. We\u2019re not thinking of the games to come or the following year. We\u2019re focused only on the match ahead of us. We must keep our heads in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from Osimhen, how are the players doing who returned from international duty?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe truth is that they often come back feeling tired or carrying injuries. We can\u2019t do much about that. All I can do is speak to them when they go and I make sure to do this. You do however have to deal with the fatigue and fitness they come back with. It\u2019s not just us who have to deal with this but all the top teams.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Neapolitan do you feel at this stage?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve become Neapolitan as far as trying to learn the dialect perfectly. Right now, I only understand half the words but I\u2019m learning because I want to speak Neapolitan really well. It\u2019s a wonderful city and a place where you can live life to the full, even though at the moment, we must stay completely focused and not expend our energy on anything other than achieving a real milestone for this city.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A group of fans have said that the Curve stands will remain silent to protest how expensive the tickets are.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEverything we have achieved so far is thanks to our fans. A range of factors have contributed to our successes and we suffer if even one of them is missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI understand that you make sacrifices to buy tickets, but protesting in this way and not supporting the team is almost as big a blow as losing Osimhen. From my perspective, it\u2019s not right to punish the team, but I\u2019d like to thank those who make efforts to support us in the stands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pioli also said that no team is unbeatable, not even Napoli.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s right, what can I say? Perfect and unbeatable teams do not exist. I\u2019m convinced that Napoli have followed the right path over these last two years. We just need to look at what happened last year to see whether our success is down to the limitations of our opponents or based on our own merit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt this time last year, the team in second were only four or five points behind the leaders and their points average was the same today\u2019s current runners up. The fact that we are 20 points ahead is therefore down to us and not the failures of our opponents, as I often read or hear people say. Credit must go to Napoli.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
