Napoli coach Spalletti 'upset' after victory over Bologna

Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti was unhappy after victory over Bologna.

Napoli midfielder Hirving Lozano scored both goals for the 2-0 win.

Spalletti said, “I am upset when we don't do well what we are supposed to do.

“Our duty is to play football. We are not a team that can defend for an extended period of time, we are not a physical team. We struggle in these situations, so we must keep the ball possession and avoid defending because that's something we are not able to do.

“Sometimes we are too sloppy for the role that we have in the league and the city that we represent," the coach continued.

“We must fight and do our job well. We'll be happy when we'll make our fans happy. Being footballers is not enough, we must make people happy otherwise, we are ordinary people.

“We have thrown too many points away this season. We must reach a top-four finish. We have the quality and the team to do that, like all the other seven clubs.

“Sometimes we lose our quality, we should have made the most of all the space they left for us in the final minutes of the game. We didn't and we suffered their pressing at the end of the match."
