Antonio Conte he continues to preach balance, for his own sake Naples leaders with 4 points ahead of second-placed Inter. Even after the success against Lecce, the Italian coach wanted to reiterate what he expressed in previous outings. His Naples is an open construction site with the ‘work in progress’ sign posted in front of the gate and there is no moving forward from here for now.
“Bringing these matches home, before the break we were talking about the 5 future matches that seemed easy, I don’t blame you but a team that is getting better with Empoli and Lecce must then win them. The team has shown great maturity, today we let’s prepare Milan at San Siro and it’s not a walk in the park for anyone. We have the right to compare ourselves now to understand what type of match we will play thinking about Milan and without thinking about the next matches. I tell the boys to see match by match with them desire to improve. I say the environment has balance, we will try not to disappoint anyone but this team is building itself and doing things that no one expected at the beginning”, explained Conte after the 1-0 win over Lecce.
It’s true that the latest outings have given more than encouraging sensations, even if up to now the calendar has been rather lenient with Kvara and his companions. In this sense, the month of November is destined to say something more, to better understand the real strength and consistency of the group and to show where the Napoli ‘construction site’ could end up. Tomorrow there will be the away match at San Siro against Milan, then Atalanta at Maradona 4 days later, before returning to San Siro as guests of Inter. Then the break, then Rome at home and Turin away. Five very complicated matches in one way or another, but this Napoli team can’t wait to play to measure its real potential.
