Napoli-Roma, Maurizio Sarri: "I never give up. Otherwise I would have never risen from the 8th division to the Serie A"

First the loss to Atalanta in Bergamo, then the injury to Milik on the international break. Now, Napoli will restart at the San Paolo against Roma amidst these negative episodes. Maurizio Sarri spoke at a press conference before tomorrow's big match: "On the eighth matchday of the season, it's premature to talk about a game that could predict your position in the standings. But it's an important match for us, because we're coming off an ugly game against Atalanta, and the squad must readjust quickly. It's also a difficult match, because Roma has a squad and coach of the highest level. I hope the team is OK after the match in Bergamo: we have to get better at this, when the game starts off poorly, we have to learn how to readjust. Our squad is rejuvenated, we have to learn from these mistakes and improve temperamentally. Gabbiadini? I didn't tell him anything in particular, he has to go on the pitch and do what he knows how to do. Then we'll think of something because in the long run he can't play every match, but this is my problem. Against defensive teams, Mertens could play better in that role. In other situations Callejon, could play better. My response to Juventus? I've always given the same response: in Italy, Juventus represents what Bayern Munich does in Germany and Real Madrid in Spain. After our defeat in Bergamo my words were interpreted differently? My words are not a surrender, I never give up. Otherwise I would have never risen from the Seconda Categoria (8th division of Italian football) to the in Serie A". On his squad: "I think this group will do well in the long term, the club worked very hard in the summer. In the short term, we still have some work to do, there are a lot of young players who need to grow." @GIANMARCalciO
