In view of the challenge against Cagliari, the coach of Napoli, Anthony Tale, took stock of the situation in a press conference. “What do I expect when we resume? Continuity of performance and results.
I expect the new players to adapt to the group immediately,” said Conte, who underlined the work done by Romelu Lukaku during the break. "Lukaku has used this break to fully integrate into the team. He has also come on his days off and is improving in all respects. We'll see."
However, there are some concerns. “Kvaratskhelia had an ankle problem.
We will evaluate his condition in the next training sessions", added the coach, leaving open the possibility of his use. Conte then spoke about the pressure that comes from past victories: “I carry a great responsibility with me.
I don't shy away from expectations. We started a reconstruction, we took seven new players and twelve left.
This means that something is changing. I know well that my only strength is work."
On a tactical level, Tale does not exclude possible adjustments: “Change module?
We come from two and a half months of work on a system. I hope to see improvements.
The goal is to find the best solution for the team, adapting the module to our needs."
Finally, an eye on the opponents: “Cagliari is a tough team, like all those coached by Nicola. Wherever he has gone, he has always done well.
We will have to be very careful. We want to get the third consecutive victory, a result that we have been missing for a long time.
This is what we are focusing on."
