The Napoli head has not hidden his anguish after the Partenopei failed to make their lead count against Catania, and called for an overall improvement in their play.
The stakes were high going into the match against Catania, with Mazzarri’s men needed a victory to remain active in their pursuit of the last qualifying spot for the UEFA
Champions League. Having knowledge of the repercussions of a victory, it would have definitely annoyed the manager, who has seen his side being inconsistent in the Lega.
They were well on course for victory against Gli Elefanti after Cavani ensured smooth sailing for the Partenopei with the second goal for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003. The fact that they threw
away the three points when they were playing home would have irked the former Livorno boss even more. He bemoaned the missed chances in the match, and felt that they were not clinical enough in their attempts.
Mazzarri further stated that his side should have learnt from their mistakes in the Champions League, and not concede the same types of goals. Even though he had made a
few changes to rectify the mistakes at Stamford Bridge the same mistakes were still made. Commenting on the issue he stated:
“It’s not possible to let in the same corners that knocked us out of the Champions League. We can’t keep conceding the same goals. All sides have strengths and weaknesses.”
The 50-year-old further went on to state that his side needed to work with greater http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vigilance-c40891 if they are to succeed, as the slightest of mistakes can result in a goal. This
was highlighted after Vincenzo Montella’s men came from behind to secure the draw. Mazzarri stated:
“It’s such a shame to throw away three points in this way. We did something more and knew we were tired, so
Catania worked out they should leave it late to pile on pressure. They also copied our tactics, so until there was a breakthrough it was difficult to find space.”
The draw against Catania means that Napoli are on 48 points and joint fourth in the Serie A. With nine matches remaining in the league, the former Sampdoria boss needs to
find a solution for consistency in their side.
