After Napoli's 3-2 away win against Atalanta, the Italian coach Antonio Conte analyzed his team's performance and the current situation the club is experiencing to the microphones of Sky Sports.
“This team has grown a lot, especially in difficult times. Two months ago Atalanta came to Naples and scored three goals, but this was a completely different game. We are moving forward while dealing with injuries and market situations that could kill a bull. However, we are not complaining: keep our heads down and keep pedaling. All this is the result of a lot of work”, declared Conte, highlighting the character of the group.
On the market and the departure of Kvaratskhelia, Conte wanted to clarify his position: “Post-Kvara? I leave the decision to the club. If they ask me for an opinion, I will give it. But it’s not about taking promising young players to do what? I don’t understand, do we take a player from the Primavera? If we have to intervene, do it in the right way. Let’s not make people laugh. Things have to be done well, otherwise we’ll stay like this”.
Tale he then analyzed the sales compared to previous years: “A strong player has left, but the subjective question is whether we are stronger or not. The objective question, however, is that compared to the Scudetto, the best players have left: Osimhen, Kim, Kvara and Zielinski. Not to mention Mario Rui or Elmas, who were valuable substitutes. We have to continue with our heads down, without complaining. If the club decides to intervene, fine, but I will go to war with these players”.
