Walter Mazzarri quotes after Napoli beaten by AC Milan

Walter Mazzarri - Napoli Coach, talk about the game between Milan - Napoli which ended by score 3-0 for Milan Victory.


About Match
“We wanted to try a few things in the second half, but we couldn’t manage it,” 
“Milan are a phenomenal side and they stopped us from playing.
“If possible, I would have liked to stop the game completely and got the side to just think about a few things for three minutes."
“We weren’t brilliant and the pitch wasn’t at its best. Our desire to equalise then allowed them too much space and we were punished.”
“Until the penalty incident the game was balanced, then everything changed,” 
“Those penalties can be given. Sometimes they are and sometimes they are not. Tonight the referee decided to award it."
“But I don’t want to talk about referees, especially as there were other dubious decisions made, like some offside calls, so I want to avoid talking about them.”


About Next game
“We’ve lost a Final, but we must now look to the others, Brescia arrive on Sunday, a tough side.”


About Lavezzi
“He is an important weapon that we missed, who knows what would have happened tonight with him…”

AC Milan Quotes after Fabolous Winning from Napoli

Serie A Week 27 2010-2011

Milan win the big match game against Napoli at San Siro with score 3-0

ADRIANO GALLIANI – Milan Vice Executive President
“Tonight the team reminded me of the Milan side of 20 years ago... It was a fundamental game, we knew it, now another one awaits us on Saturday. The team played well, we allowed Napoli only one shot on goal, eventually saved by Abbiati. Jankulovski’s performance was a pleasant surprise. He spent more than an hour on the field and did quite well. He played very well after a long absence. I want to congratulate the whole team. I liked Van Bommel’s performance as well. I try not to be banal, because we all know who the others are, worthy of praise... so I want to congratulate most of all Jankulovski and Van Bommel and the whole team. Alessandro Nesta and Thiago Silva were extraordinary. Thiago is an extraordinary defender. It’s been a long period now that the substitutes have contributed to team’s success in a big way. The starters do a good job, but also the players from bench do their part. For instance, Emanuelson did well after coming on. Boateng’s runs were simply deadly. Patinho scored a marvellous goal... Pato has always been a magnificent player, his goal/minutes played ratio is extraordinary.
Ibra always fights like a lion. I must say De Sanctis made three miraculous saves.
The president didn’t come out of respect for the Italian soldier who died in Afghanistan today. If there’s someone who has done his best for Naples, starting from the issue of the refuse, it’s him. I’m sure he wouldn’t say anything offensive against Naples.
With this win we extended our lead at the top of the standings. Now we have a five-point advantage. Up to now we had a three-point lead, but now it’s five.
The public was much warmer than in the Champions League against Tottenham. This means that the fans really want the league title.
We’ve been leading the league for a long time. Now there are 11 more games left to play. We have a five-point advantage ahead of the second-placed, six ahead of the third-placed and ten ahead of the fourth. And whatever happens in the next round, we’ll keep the first place“.

ALLEGRI – Milan Coach
“The team did well, we played well. We didn’t sit back after taking the lead early in the second half. I’m satisfied with Jankulovski’s performance. It was the first time he started a game this season. Seeing how he played, perhaps it was a mistake not to play him before.
Despite tonight’s result, three teams will fight it out for the title, because Napoli are trailing Inter only by one point and the championship is still long. The important thing is that we won this evening.
I prefer fielding Boateng right behind the strikers, even if he could also play in the three-man midfield. But for the latter he’s still a bit immature…
Juventus are going through a difficult period, but teams tend to regroup in times of difficulty, so it will be a tough game on Saturday”.

PATO – Milan Striker
“Not only me, but the whole team did well. Now I’m only focusing on training hard, doing what the boss asks from me and helping my teammates. I just want to play. Before our second goal, I passed to Boateng, because I saw him bursting into the area so I gave him the ball. I’m happy for his goal. This is a great evening, I’m pleased, because I played and I ran a lot. We got three important points against Napoli, but now we have to look ahead to the upcoming game against Juventus. We have to get as many points as possible in every single match. We have to do well and concentrate on ourselves. I’m glad, because I managed to do what the boss asked me in training, but now we have to turn the page and start thinking about the next challenge. On Tuesday I trained instead of relaxing, because I want to play and help my teammates.
I have a great relationship with Cassano, we’re great friends. Everyone knows he’s a nice guy. Antonio has a big heart. Thiago is an extraordinary player and he’s focused on doing his job. He’s a great guy both on and off the field and I’m happy for what he’s doing at Milan.
In Verona I pulled off my shirt when I was celebrating. I didn’t do it out of anger, but because I was overjoyed to have scored on the 25th anniversary of the Berlusconi presidency”.

MAREK JANKULOVSKI – Milan Defender
“I’m glad with how we played tonight. It was a great game, a great win. I’m happy also for myself, because playing after such a long absence wasn’t easy. It’s a great day.
We’re professionals, we’re at Milan, we’re an excellent team, therefore we always must train as hard as possible and sooner or later everyone will get the chance to play. Because of this, I’ve always worked hard and today has been a really good day for me as it was such a great feeling to hear the fans chant my name at the San Siro after such a long time.
Napoli are a great team, but this evening we dominated the whole game and didn’t give them anything.
We all hope to keep our first place until the end of the season, but there’s still a long road to go. We can’t take anything for granted. Our rivals don’t give up and another difficult game awaits us on Saturday”.

Massimiliano Allegri Quotes before Serie A Week 27 Match between Milan - Napoli

AC Milan will be against Napoli at San Siro. 
If they lose from Napoli, Inter Milan will take #1 league position.


Massimiliano Allegri - Milan Coach
“We prepared for this game as we did for other matches, knowing that it will be a massive game, a clash between title contenders. Only 12 matches are left to play, but there are still a lot of points up for grabs. I think it’s no coincidence that Napoli are second. They have a lot of quality both from a technical and a tactical point of view, it’s a very enthusiastic team and I think they’ll come here tomorrow to play an open game. At the moment this match seems to be the most important, but in my opinion also our match in Verona last week was fundamental, for another reason, but definitely tomorrow’s game is very important. A lot is at stakes for us and also for Napoli and to be honest I think tomorrow’s match can be decisive in the race for the league title.
We shouldn’t let our three-point advantage over Napoli affect us, we simply have to try to win the game. There are still a lot of matches left to play. 36 points are still up for grabs so we can’t just build the remaining part of the season on this advantage”.


About Napoli Coach - Walter Mazzarri
“We have different characters. I believe that all the Serie A referees are up to the task, so for me there’s no problem here and I don’t really about care who’s been appointed for the game. Seeing that he does as he complained after Napoli’s match last week, I said that he should choose the referee. It was just a joke. I don’t know him personally, by the way. It’s not like Mazzarri is unsympathetic to me, on the contrary, I like him. I respect him a lot, because he’s always done great things wherever he’s worked. I think that as a coach he has to be judged by his result and his results speak volumes”.


About Napoli 
“They didn’t deserve to be eliminated from the Europa League as they did very well in Spain. Definitely, they would have deserved to advance. They’ve been doing great things in Serie A and I’m sure they’ll come to the San Siro for the three points and with the intention of catching up with us on the top of the standings. We’ll have a lot to lose in tomorrow’s match. I think Napoli will play as they’ve been lately. Mazzarri’s team has improved a lot, has a lot of self-esteem and is also technically gifted, so I think they’ll come here to play a great game. I’m sure that tomorrow’s match will be a great encounter. Hopefully, it will also be satisfactory for us from every point of view”.


About Milan Player
“Pato has improved, now he’s much more serene. His numbers speak for themselves: he’s scored a brace every two games. Cassano has done very well in our last couple of matches. Boateng could even play on the wings of a three-man midfield tomorrow. He’ll have a great game against Napoli and he’ll be key player of the match. At the moment, Jankulovski may have a better chance to start than the others playing in his position”.


About Napoli Striker - Edison Cavani
“I think Cavani is a fundamental player for Napoli. He has improved a lot. He can score  even without Lavezzi’s help, so tomorrow we’ll need to keep an eye on him”. (acmilan.com)

Andrea Dossena Quotes After Napoli Defeated by Villareal

Andrea Dossena - Napoli Defender


"They found the 2-1 goal in a lucky fashion"
"It was practically an own-goal."

"We gave it our all, and we can leave the competition with our heads held high, fighting until the end. We knew it was going to be hard, but can take some positives out of this, as we know we can now take on anyone, even against an important team like Villarreal."

Dossena also refused to criticise the refereeing during the match, and turned his attention to playing Milan in a top-of-the-table clash on Monday evening.

"Us penalised? We must adapt to the referees that officiate the matches, and it is unfortunate for us," he added.

"The Milan players - if they watched this match - know that they will not have an easy time 
against us. We will give it our all hoping to take home all three points."
