Even without two main players like the midfielder Zambo Anguissa and the center Kim due to the suspension after the Cameroonian was sent off and the South Korean saw a yellow card.
“The tie is still very open. We already know how difficult tonight is,” he started by saying Spalletti after the match. “I have to praise my players, even if one person is less. I rediscovered my best Napoli and it will be the same next week.”
Spalletti was pleased with the behavior of his players despite the defeat. “The team is still young, in their career they haven’t played at this level and they don’t have experience, but I saw a good performance. We attacked Milan, with the right attitude,” he said.
With Anguisa and Kim missing in the second leg, Spalletti announced that “he wanted to replace Zambo, but at that moment he was booked. But we got here winning a lot of games, we showed that we are strong without relying to a single player. We reacted correctly, We are a strong team.”
About the absence of striker Victor Osimhen because of the injury, Spalletti assured that “if we think about it, the regret will increase even more. It’s better not to think about it, Elmas also did a great job (like false 9) by putting pressure on your opponents. AND carefully (Milan goalkeeper) made a very important save.”
