"There had been a rapprochement in the summer, but Napoli was making its assessments and my negotiations in Florence were fairly underway. Fiorentina was ready for my transfer, Napoli had other priorities. Now I'm happy to be in this square that I have always liked, that I have always looked at with admiration for what it transmits, for what it reserves for the players, and obviously for the Napoli team".
This was said by Pierluigi Gollini, the new Napoli goalkeeper, who introduced himself in an interview with Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, commenting on the club's choice of national goalkeepers from Meret to him: "I can only be happy about it - says Gollini - and say that the Napoli made the right choices, the Italian goalkeeper school is the best from a technical point of view.
The way of coaching of the old Italian school has remained a little too fixed on points because football has become more European, the goalkeeper must play with his feet, be more dynamic.
And so we can also take from others and modernize the school.
But from a technical point of view, the Italian school is still the best in the world.
The technique helps you not to make mistakes and leads you to be complete".
Gollini started as a boy in Manchester United's youth team and then played in the Premier League with Aston Villa and Tottenham before returning to Italy, and compares the two championships: "The thing that unites - he explains - the Premier teams, apart from City, it's the level of competition and the intensity. We in Naples have a very high technical level, I was impressed when I arrived. The level is really high in all the players, they are all strong technically. The team is in trust and hope for the best. Then there is also a great intensity and this unites us to European football: both in Germany and in the Premier League we play with great competitive spirit, with great intensity".
