Antonio Conte, Napoli coach, commented with satisfaction on the 4-0 victory against Cagliari, underlining the team's progress in terms of attitude and determination. “We are growing in wickedness and determination, I have a group of good guys who have understood how I want to work,” Conte told Sky Sport, acknowledging the commitment of his players. Regarding the match, Conte praised Napoli's initial approach, while admitting that the interruption after half an hour due to disturbances in the stands favored the home team more: “This is a very difficult pitch, but we started very well straight away, even if the interruption at the half-hour mark helped them more than us.” During the break, the coach worked to improve some tactical aspects: “We reviewed some situations, such as full-court duels, a context in which we still have to grow.”

Conte then spoke about his forwards, expressing great confidence in Romelu Lukaku and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia. “I have always wanted Romelu strongly, because he is an atypical player, strong physically and in progression.

His condition is not yet optimal, but he is a fundamental player for us, and today he has already done very well,” explained the coach. On Kvaratskhelia, Conte added: “We expect both assists and goals from Kvicha, I hope he scores a lot of them.

The characteristics of the match were not very favorable to him, but he still managed to do very well.”
