Morales: De Laurentiis sets the standard, Lang key for team | OneFootball

On Stile TV during the broadcast “Salite sulla giostra” by Raffaele Auriemma, Massimo Morales, former scout for Napoli, made an appearance.

Napoli, Morales on our microphones: “De Laurentiis is an example for everyone, Lang? He can give a lot to this team”

These are his statements on our microphones: “There is a lot of competence in many moments of the life of the Napoli football club. De Laurentiis has brought a managerial approach to football that was not known in this way, and the results and financial figures prove him right. Then, of course, he has surrounded himself with competent collaborators, primarily coaches, because many excellent coaches who know football, know players, and know how to acquire them have passed through Napoli. Napoli is continuity; these two words generally do not travel together, but in Napoli football, this club is an example. In the Netherlands, there is no external pressure on the players, then physical fatigue, the athlete recovers easily, it is the mental fatigue that makes the difference. Foreigners have different difficulties, a new language, different habits, then Conte is a very demanding coach. And finally, he arrives in a team that has already won, so he must adapt. Noa Lang is a good player, when he comes in, he does well, he tries to give his contribution, then there are moments when he gives you more, others less, but he is someone who can contribute to the team.

”Lang plays in a position where Napoli already has strong players, so it is also about investments that Napoli has made. In Italy, we have the habit of immediately discarding things that do not go well right away, but sometimes there are timelines to wait for. For example, Leao was injured, and upon returning, there is already an expectation of 3 goals in the first match. But it is not like that, there is a need for recovery time, even Platini, who was one of the strongest in the world, took 6 months to adapt. Italy, I saw, was celebrated as if we had won something extraordinary, yet we played a decent match against a weaker team than us, winning 3-0, not 10-0. Let's try to win against Israel otherwise we won't even make the playoffs! However, this exaltation of Italy makes us understand how poorly we were doing. Di Lorenzo has had a downturn, although it seems to me he is regaining his pace a bit, even though wing players over time reduce their specific weight a bit, but he always gives his contribution. Politano is having an amazing season, and Spinazzola has found a certain continuity with Conte, and we cross our fingers because this guy is a bit unlucky. It seems to me he has reached psychophysical maturity, and the coach plays an important part in his journey.”
