Napoli, Manna’s words before the match against Milan

Giovanni Manna’s words to Mediaset’s microphones, just minutes before the Supercoppa semifinal Napoli-Milan, which kicks off at 8 PM.

On Lukaku’s return

“We’re definitely happy that Romelu is back with the group. He’s not ready to play yet, as the coach has said, but he’s a guy with personality, and he gives us a hand. We’re happy, he’s important for us, and we’ll see in the coming weeks how his condition improves.”

On the negotiations for Mainoo

“I’ve always said that we need to be very thoughtful and careful in the January transfer market. We have strong players out who will return sooner or later. We need to make the right assessments, wait for news in the coming days, and then we’ll see accordingly.”

Roma’s interest in Raspadori

“He’s a player who has given a lot to Napoli, and Napoli has given a lot to him. He made a choice and we supported it. Personally, I don’t think he will leave Atletico Madrid.”

Conte’s relationship with the team and management

“Internally, we’ve never really had problems. His statement wasn’t polemical but more of a warning cry. Inside, we’ve always been compact and united. We lost two games after an extremely positive period, it’s normal, you can’t win every match. Especially at a time like this when the energy expenditure is huge and the squad is limited. We’re happy and calm about the work the coach is doing with the team. Whatever today’s result, we’re not affected by it; we’re confident in what we and the coach are doing.”

Francesco Landi
