Taking advantage of the rest day we had planned for our staff, I visited with Italian Football Federation at Coverciano. I went with Fabio Pecchia and we shared an interesting session working with coaches who had gathered and we found this to be very enriching. I had the opportunity to exchange views, approaches and experiences with a number of colleagues who face every day circumstances, challenges and problems more or less similar to those that confront us.

I also had the opportunity to give a talk in which we were discussing the differences in football that we see in different countries, with different footballing cultures and priorities that have changed over time. This once again was very rewarding.

Now we have to face a week, which is somewhat atypical because of the absences of players who have been called by their different national teams but we're already thinking about the next game. Sempre Forza Napoli!
