"I never look at the past. Maybe I made a mistake in releasing Spalletti but you always have to get along in life."
In the pre-match of the "Barcelona-Napoli" match, valid for the return leg of the Champions League round of 16, Napoli president Aurelio DeLaurentiis spoke to Mediaset about the past, present and future: "Satisfied with Calzona's work? I've known him for many years and he is a very reliable person and it is precisely for this reason that I have entrusted myself to him as my third coach this season. A somewhat complicated year but when you win a Scudetto it is always difficult to repeat yourself. This is a very important match because by winning we would go to the quarter-finals where if we were to achieve with a certain score we would go to the Club World Cup."
Did Kvaratskhelia's agent say that he will only leave because of an indispensable offer?
"The indispensable offer must come to me and not to him - says De Laurentiis - It's always nice that here everyone does the math without the innkeeper. Kvara still has a contract with us for many years, I would like to extend the contract for further years and I'm ready to do my part."
Then the president of Napoli talks about the resignation of Sarridalla Lazio: "They surprised me a lot, I believe that in life after the first experiences that qualify you as a professional and therefore you are no longer at the dawn of your professionalism you have to take on your responsibilities that derive from a your acceptance. If you have accepted a certain role and are in a certain club, for better or for worse you must complete your commitment: both contractually, and out of respect for the fans, and out of respect for the players and the club that signed you. Whoever resigns in the end is a loser. I don't know the issues and problems that may have existed between Sarri and Lazio. Then it's not about me but it's about Lotito who is a very different person from me. He is never impetuous, perhaps he is agitated because he wants do everything and more between football, politics and industry. But he has many qualities so in my opinion solutions had to be found within their relationship because a team doesn't break up a few months before the end of the championship."
