NAPLES - "The goal is to understand what kind of response we'll give by playing seven games in 22 days. A significant expenditure of energy will be inevitable, and we'll need rotation and everyone's contribution." Antonio Conte, on the eve of the league match against Torino, outlined the challenges of a tour de force that will put the Italian champion team to the test.
The coach confirmed the full recovery of Buongiorno and Politano, while Lobotka has begun his reintegration into the group.

The coach then commented on McTominay's initial struggles, highlighting how the player's change in status and the opponent's different focus had impacted his performances. Regarding wingers Neres and Lang, Conte emphasized their commitment and desire to integrate into the team: “Lang is working, he’s settling in and he’ll have his chances.”
Finally, the coach reminded us that facing Torino will not be easy: "Anyone who faces Napoli redoubles their strength. Marco Baroni showed against Lazio last year that he knows how to prepare for matches well." Conte also drew attention to the risk of injuries resulting from the busy schedule: "The more you play, the more risks you face. Lack of training and physical and mental stress increase the risk of muscle problems. They're human."
