Napoli defender, Kalidou Koulibaly has come out to narrate how Gennaro Gattuso has helped the club since he took over.
Speaking after their 2-1 aggregate victory over Inter Milan in the Coppa Italia semi-finals yesterday, Koulibaly recently revealed that Gattuso has given the players a lot of self-confidence.
According to him, the Inter game was obviously going to be difficult but since the manager has restored the lost self esteem in the squad, they could qualify.
He added that Gattuso has also helped the club technically and Napoli is definitely on the right track under him.
His words, “We knew it would be very difficult as a match, Inter came here to put us in difficulty and it is seen from the first goal,”
“We responded well, with a good goal, and we were solid. We have been missing this last aspect for some time.
“[Gattuso has given] a lot of self-confidence. We had lost self-esteem, he gave it back to us. Tactically he gave us a little more, he taught us to suffer.
“In the first months of this championship we could not suffer, we were in difficulty. Now instead we can do it. We are on the right track, we need continuity.”
“The things we did before are coming back. A little more work is needed, we can do even better,”
“Everyone is in the project and that is very important. We want to offer something to our fans, we have to prepare the final to the best, calmly and serenely.
“I haven’t played for six months, I’m happy to have helped my friends who in this period have given me a lot, just like the fans.”
