In the hot seat for several weeks, Rudi Garcia had regained the confidence of his group in recent days, but is still in fourth place in the Championship with Naples. Before facing Empoli this Sunday, for an important meeting before the international break, the French technician was criticized by the local media and supporters for his tactical choices, and in particular the fact of having left Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on the bench.
“Exclusion is a bad worddeclared Rudi Garcia in response to criticism, before the start of the meeting. It’s just to make sure he catches his breath and can make the difference in the second half. We needed new strengths, I have a different form of play because we need to score goals, to be present in the penalty area and Simeone and Raspadori can help us in this sense“, he added. Naples needs a victory to avoid being left behind by Juventus and Inter Milan.
