The coach of Naples, Antonio Conte, he spoke at the end of the match won by his team against Lecce thanks to a goal by Di Lorenzo, to the microphones of Dazn. Here are his words.
Will you watch the Italian derby?
“I will certainly do it, the passion for football still leads me to want to see a match of this caliber. We watch it knowing that they are two very, very strong teams. We watch it and enjoy it.”
Do you look at her calmly? Thanks to what we did in the second half today.
“I have little to blame the team today. I look at the statistics which can mean everything or nothing, but today we had great ball possession and 16 corners. They defended in an organized way, but we attacked. When you attack and don’t score, then a bit of nervousness can set in. I calmed them down, because you need to have the maturity and patience to stay there, move the ball around and create opportunities to score. We’re happy, the 0-6 conceded by Lecce against Fiorentina It doesn’t describe a team with values. Krstovic and Banda have legs, but we were good.”
Didn’t he celebrate the goal out of good luck?
“The celebration is always episodic because after the first goal you never know if something happened that will then be reviewed. On the first goal I was convinced that it was legal because I had seen Gaspar on the line, but I hadn’t considered the goalkeeper. I was concentrated, I knew that it could have been a game-opening goal, but also that the match wasn’t over.”
How did Lukaku see it?
“It becomes unpleasant to always talk about individuals, I’m talking about the team’s performance. Head to Milan, last year they gave us an important gap and an equally important market. We achieved the points we needed to score, now we measure ourselves against the highest levels high, playing at San Siro is never easy.”
