Present at a press conference, the Italian coach, Luciano Spalletti, spoke However, he showed understanding of the fans’ reaction. The former Naples coach also believes that the best way to deal with criticism is to respond to it on the pitch.

Someone who has the personality we need should not react. Sometimes one can respond with actions, sometimes with words, to show one’s character. Sometimes you stay quiet, and then you stay quiet and you work harder, and then you put on a better show because you might have been booed.”explained the 64-year-old man.
