Coach Giampiero Ventura spoke to Radio Kiss Kiss in view of the match between Turin and Naples of the Serie A weekend: “Sunday’s match is delicate for Torino who are within Napoli’s reach. It’s delicate because Torino have come from 4 points in their last 8 games, the loss of Zapata was devastating for the team and they have suffered not only a technical but also a psychological trauma. I have seen the Granata twice this year and I have seen them in serious difficulty. Conte’s path is the one that the coach himself would like, but I have not yet seen the team Conte. The coach was extraordinary in restoring enthusiasm and restoring confidence in the team group. From a technical-tactical point of view, Conte’s teams have always had a fluidity of play that has not yet been seen this year.”
The former coach continues: “If with these limitations Napoli is first this bodes well for the future. Napoli has room for improvement, we need to understand how to fully exploit the characteristics of the players. There isn’t much difference between Buongiorno and Kim, McTominay has characteristics different from Zielinski just as the characteristics of Osimhen and Lukaku are different, he has been adapted to do everything and more, he is the second striker, the breaking midfielder, but I think these things need time to emerge. Kvaratskhelia is not put in a position to have space in front and is penalized, but there is always a need for time to arrive at certain mechanisms.”
Ventura concludes by giving his predictions for the Scudetto fight: “I don’t see either Milan or Juventus in the running, the three teams that will be fighting will be Inter, Napoli and Atalanta. Thiago Motta arrived yesterday and has the same problems as Conte, but compared to Conte he has revolutionized the team group “.
