(ANSA) – FLORENCE, MAY 17 – ”I’m sorry I didn’t have the impact I would have liked and I take responsibility even if I shouldn’t be the only one to do so, but Napoli’s season started much earlier than my arrival” . This is how Francesco Calzona vents at the end of the 2-2 draw with Fiorentina which diminishes Napoli’s chances of reaching Europe. ”There is little chance of doing so, we had to win against Fiorentina, at the end of the first half we were at the mercy of our opponents when they scored twice. We continue to concede too many goals but we performed like a true team. Is President De Laurentiis talking about refounding next year? What he says doesn’t concern me in the sense that my agreement with Napoli expires on May 26, I am still under contract with the Slovak Federation.
I didn’t expect a general catastrophe like I found, perhaps I underestimated the situation, I thought I only had to deal with the field but instead I had to manage many other situations. There has also been a certain ‘profiteering’ towards me, some people say that I don’t coach the team, that I only play small games…”. Pasquale Mazzocchi added: ”It’s a period in which the air is heavy. This time the result wasn’t very important but finding solidity and I think we did that. We have to start from here.” As for Fiorentina, Vincenzo Italiano said: ”Our thoughts are turned to the final in Athens which is something important for us, but we are sorry not to have won today against Napoli to definitively close the eighth place issue, we will have to go to Cagliari to battle. My future? The concentration now is entirely on the pitch, then after Atalanta we will take stock, these three years in Florence have certainly been fantastic, now we have to add the cherry on top. After losing two finals last year, our only thought is for the match in Athens to try to prepare ourselves as best we can. And I don’t forget the away match in Cagliari. Did president De Laurentiis say that last season I was ready to sign for Napoli? I didn’t hear his words, perhaps he meant that when he contacted the Viola club and realized that the thing wasn’t going to take off, he backed down, behaved like a gentleman and the respect towards him grew even more ‘ ‘.
