According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Napoli full-back Spinazzola spoke to Sky Sport in Castel di Sangro about the team's pre-season preparations and goals.

Spinazzola on Alisson and McTominay

Spinazzola spoke about the team's long-standing understanding on that side: "The right side isn't bad either, they've been playing together for years. On the left, there's Alisson (sic), who is a more unpredictable player, and then Scott (McTominay, sic), who can do almost anything. But we also know that the left side requires more effort than the right because those runs come more naturally on the right."

Speaking about the friendly match against Osasuna, he said: "What do we want? To play with courage, which is what Allegri asks of us. We need to be courageous in pressing; when the opponent has possession, we need to stay compact, be patient and united. Allegri also asks us to enjoy the game. What about the left side?"

Spinazzola on the Champions League

Regarding the Champions League, Spinazzola added: "We know that the Champions League is another stage, where opponents are stronger in terms of financial power and player quality. However, with the new format, there are more chances to qualify, and then it's like a draw, depending on who you face and so on. First, we need to focus on growing and striving for a good performance in the league stage."
