Donadoni: Problems aren't over
Sunday 26 April, 2009

Roberto Donadoni celebrates his debut Napoli victory, but warns “it would be stupid to think all our problems are resolved.”

The 1-0 win over Inter was the first for the new Coach, who had previously managed only four draws and last week's defeat to Cagliari.

“Clearly it's exciting seeing a crowd like this against the top team in Italy, even if these are also the games that make me angry, to be honest,” said Donadoni.

“It's easy to find motivation against Inter, but we need to learn to adopt the same approach against everybody, every single week.

“The lads have to learn this quickly, as it's the only way to improve and have a strong season.

“The stupidest mistake we could make would be to believe all our problems have suddenly been resolved. We need to work hard and continue to improve in every area.”

Amodio was picked in midfield during an injury crisis that ruled out Walter Gargano, Christian Maggio, Leandro Rinaudo, Luigi Vitale and the suspended Paolo Cannavaro.

“Amodio also played against Sampdoria and did well. He has the characteristics that suit that role more than anyone else in Gargano's absence,” added Donadoni.

“I think our players almost always got the second ball and that was the key to the victory.”
