Ancelotti: ‘This is my project. I’ll explain how it went and how it will go ‘

Carlo Ancelotti has given a long interview to the newspaper Il Roma giving a 360 view of his Napoli : past balance and an eye on the future with a precise goal ..

BALANCE – After a year I know everyone better and I am more inside the project . Napoli wants to continue to grow with a serious and healthy project. Follies are no longer part of the world of football. Napoli respects financial fair play a lot. Albiol’s absence makes itself felt , with Hamsik I don’t think we would have done better. I am certainly not the one who wants to weaken Napoli “.

IMPROVEMENTS – Those who remain will be convinced by the field and the result, second place is not to be thrown away. There are teams that do not yet know if they will go to the Champions League. Improving the team does not depend only on you , but also on the other side “.

NEW GRAFT -” In the group there are players who have the leadership: Mertens, Insigne, Albiol, Callejon, Allan. Finding a top player is an advantage for the team and the coach. However, you build the mentality with a collective work “.

EMPTY STADIUM -” Everyone wants a full San Paolo, in certain matches the public is essential . Anfield must be an example given and considered that he supports himself regardless of the result. We have all become a little comfortable, we prefer to stay at home. I like to live the emotions of live games . 80 POINTS – We want to finish the season well and reach 80 points would be essential. We will not give gifts, we will not favor anyone “.

RELATIONSHIP WITH DE LAURENTIIS -” I have no strategy, the President is manageable . From the first few times we met he showed me serenity, he is a person who supports a lot “.

WINNING -” To be competitive you must have an identity and clear ideas . Management can vary, you have to attack but also know how to defend. This has been our limit, when we had to suffer we did not do it. Scudetto? As I say since I arrived: I’m not here to comb the dolls “.

NAPLES -” The city stays inside you for the view, the landscape, the beauty of the Gulf. This struck me a lot. “

SARRI -” A tip to Sarri for the Europa League final? He doesn’t need it, I hope he gets on the highest podium. If you compete for the final you have to win . In Baku I mentioned for Chelsea, I am a former Blues player and I am still very close to them “.
