To the notebooks of La Gazzetta dello Sport the double ex of Napoli and Juventus spoke Daniel Fonsecawhich started from a judgment on the coaches of the respective teams: “Conte is part of Juventus’ history and will always be identified with the Juventus club. I’m not impressed by the Napoli bench and I’m not surprised to see him in the lead with a 13 point lead over Juve: he’s traveling at speed… Conte. He is the best coach in the world together with Guardiola and Ancelotti. Thiago Motta? Time and patience are essential to bring the engine to maximum rpm: Juve is still running in. Motta impressed me in Bologna and I remain convinced that he will also impose himself in Turin. We need a bit of calm: he is new to Juve, many players have changed and there have been serious injuries. The new project intrigues me and I’m sure it will take off quickly.”
What result do you expect?
“Napoli are favourites, but anything can happen. Antonio is as hot as he was as a player, we agree to see each other soon: I promised him that for one evening I will make him laugh like in the old days.”
Who chooses between Vlahovic and Lukaku?
“They go in moments: there is the period in which one scores more and the period in which the other scores more goals. They are strong: but if those figures are worth it, in my time at Napoli I should have cost 100 million euros…Kolo Muani will be a stimulus for Juve and for Vlahovic, who has always scored goals and will not stop. However, I have a soft spot for Yildiz: pure talent, great class, the right attitude. Juve’s 10 is heavy, but he seems to experience everything with serenity. Yildiz has numbers and must always try: he is the future.”
How much does Napoli lose with Kvaratskhelia’s farewell?
“It was my favorite. But no one is indispensable, apart from Conte.”
