Against Roma, at Napoli, there was an important return: Stanislav Lobotka. After five games without playing plus one in which he only came on for a brief moment, the Slovakian midfielder regained his place in the control room. He did well against the Giallorossi, he returned to being the team’s usual metronome, a player that Antonio Conte finds hard to give up.
An old blue director spoke about this and much more, Mirko Valdifioriwho spoke at the microphone of Radio Kiss Kiss: “Lobotka is always positioned well, it seems like the ball always goes his way, but he is the one who puts himself in the right position. Then he always doubles up on Buongiorno or Rrahmani and has an incredible speed of thought.
He goes onto the field with confidence, always knows what to do and always makes the right play. When I had Conte in the national team I went onto the pitch with the certainties that he had made available to me to face difficult matches. Then with Conte you enter the pitch without fear of the opponent, you charge into the game and every time you go on the pitch you give your heart. Conte gets the best out of any player, the group is the thing he believes in most of all.”
