Napoli coach: “We lag behind other teams due to different situations. With Juve, I took the risk of changing the formation.”
De Laurentiis’ tweet: “For good luck, let’s not say anything” – complete with smiley emoticons – opened the post-match between Napoli and Monza, in which Antonio Conte was clearly calling for peace and quiet. Conte said: “We have to grow because it has only been three months and the first one to talk about reconstruction was the president himself.” Let’s let the fans dream but I have to keep my feet on the ground. The truth is we have to work, many teams are ahead of us in different situations. “We are starting from behind and we will try to do our best. Last year we finished 40 points behind Inter.”
Defense and evaluation
—
Only one goal has been conceded in the Italian side’s last six matches – including the Coppa Italia -. A fact that cannot go unnoticed in the future battle for the league title: “We feed dreams but I look at reality and we must not indulge in flights of fantasy – Conte continues -. We have to sweat in every match, as we did today because they did not give us that. “Moreover, the calendar has not yet been the most demanding, but it is good to be in front and achieve back-to-back results which will be useful if there are difficult moments.” Conte sees an important spark in his group: “The balance that we have found, sacrificing the I for the sake of us, is not related to the formations but to the availability on the part of the players in the defensive and offensive phases. For example, the work done by Politano was decisive and was rewarded with the goal, but I repeat that the matter is It is not a matter of formations, even if Turin took a great responsibility in changing the playing system, which we also did today in the match.”
