Serie A: Napoli coach Spalletti celebrates after victory at Torino
Napoli coach, Luciano Spalletti, was satisfied after victory at Torino.
Fabian Ruiz pounced on a poor Tommaso Pobega error in midfield to score the winner, after seeing Lorenzo Insigne fluff his penalty beforehand.
“I liked the press today, particularly Insigne, who was tripling up in the build-up to the goal,” Spalletti told DAZN.
“We wanted to leave more room to David Ospina to help build out from the back, because Toro tried to match us man for man all over the field. We still need to improve, but we moved the ball around better after the restart.

“We need to end the season well, make these final games special and get everyone involved. We achieved a huge objective of Champions League qualification and some people don’t seem to understand that. Credit should be given for what we’ve done this season, without only thinking about the future.”
Insigne now has only two games left to play in the Napoli jersey before he leaves for Toronto FC.
Spalletti added, “He took on the responsibility of the penalty that many others wouldn’t want. He just needs to relax, his decision is to be accepted and it’s not easy for us losing a player of his level. He can play anywhere with his head held high.”
