Naples - "Does the feeling of first place count more than how much the injuries weigh from a psychological point of view? What matters is the work that has been done, because in any case there is a group of guys who have embraced the verb to work.
And that's what brings us to have a beautiful ranking today despite there have been or will be situations where we should overcome difficulties. Even in the past we have tried to find a solution by trying to bypass the problems. I teach this to the kids.
Let's move forward, even though in seven months I had to change three ways of playing. The credit goes to the players who are sponges".
Antonio Conte said this on the eve of the Lazio-Napoli match scheduled at the Stadio Olimpico. “Can we see something different against Lazio? There are situations that we cannot pretend not to see given that there are injuries.
It is inevitable that when they go to hit areas and roles it is inevitable that a solution must be found by making the most of the qualities of a player that we have in the squad. I will never ask a boy to do something. We will try to put on the right outfit. There will be an opportunity for those who have not had space up to now but have contributed to having these points in the standings", Conte said again.
“If it were to be Raspadori tomorrow, he would certainly do his best. Could Raspadori be more central in this match? I spoke about him before the transfer market. I'll keep the good players, I said. The important thing is that the player knows what I think of him.
He has always been part of the group, when he was called upon he did his duty. Remember that when Juan Jesus was called upon everyone thought I was playing the last one in Serie A. We must enhance the characteristics of all the players,” Conte added.
