Antonio Conte responds clearly to the recent statements of Giacomo Raspadori, who in an interview expressed his desire to have more space on the pitch. During the pre-match press conference ahead of the match against Torino, the Napoli coach reiterated his strategic vision for the team, ensuring that the goal is to strengthen the club, not weaken it.
“We want to make Napoli stronger, I will never be so stupid as to weaken it,” Conte declared, underlining the importance of Raspadori in the Azzurri project. “For me he is a strong and important player. My intention is to strengthen Napoli, not to weaken it, both for the present and for the future. This must be a clear message.”
Conte also explained the difficulties related to managing rotations in a season in which the team is focused only on the championship and on Coppa Italia, a competition that offers few opportunities to distribute minutes. “When you only have one main competition and the Coppa Italia sporadically, it becomes difficult to give space to everyone,” the coach admitted, while implying that decisions are always oriented towards the good of the team.
