The manager of Novara (and in the past of Catania, Palermo, Udinese and Genoa among others), Peter Lo Monacogave an interview to Vikonos to talk about some hot topics at Napoli, starting with the changes brought by the new coach, Antonio Conte: “It’s too early to say if it has already had an impact on the players’ minds” – his words – “the first match in Verona was a copy of last year’s games, we must also give Napoli the chance to complete the team. Lukaku arrived, the club took Mc Tominay, Spinazzola and Buongiorno arrived, in the end if you have good players the coach has an impact, creates the group and the mentality. It will still take a little time”.
About Osimhen’s situation?
“The market sets the price, everything depends on whether the president decides to accept or not. His management has been a joke, it is inconceivable that a footballer would dare to refuse to play”
Lukaku’s arrival?
“We all know him, great physical strength, he is the striker that Conte wanted, the Belgian is very welcome, strongly pursued by the coach, you cannot question a player like him, one of the most popular strikers in Europe”.
McTominay?
“A good hammer, he has depth, if you play for United you have substance and attributes. He arrived in Naples on Conte’s advice, Gilmour is a good midfielder, he doesn’t upset the balance but he’s definitely a Napoli player”.
Good morning?
“Great arrival, one of the strongest in the role, he plays the left wing very well, he has the physique, the foot, the technical-tactical ability. And on Spinazzola let me say that, if he is well, on the left he makes the difference. In short, the new acquisitions say that Conte’s Napoli has definitely been born”.
