Antonio Conte spoke at a press conference two days before the match against Parma, scheduled for Saturday at the Stadio Maradona: “I have already warned the team. Parma took four points against Fiorentina and Milan, that's no coincidence.
They have energy and strong players, if we give them space on the counterattack they will hurt us. It will be a difficult match, but we are preparing for it carefully.”
The coach then commented on the individuals, praising Kvaratskhelia: “He is a very talented boy who trains with commitment and a desire to improve.
He's only 23 and has a lot of room for growth ahead of him." On Di Lorenzo, Conte was equally clear: "I wanted him to stay at all costs. He's an intelligent player, always in the right place at the right time. For me, he's very strong."
Finally, the coach spoke about his relationship with President De Laurentiis: “There's no need to keep in touch.
What we had to discuss has been on the table for a long time. Now we have to focus on the field, the company knows what we need.
There are a few days left until the market closes, we’ll see what happens.”
