The Napoli coach in close contact with Stellini and Oriali who direct the sessions for him at Castel Volturno
Oh well, now they work remotely everywhere: and there are those who proceed with the PC and those who make do with the iPhone. It is the new frontier of online work, an unprecedented (or almost) novel thing in football that Antonio Conte has chosen to experiment with: he took three days off, in agreement with the club, and is following from Turin, which is 859 kilometers away but it is as if he were behind the monitor or perhaps beyond the bench. And you don’t even need a hat to protect yourself from the cold. It is enough to be modern, technologically advanced or not: a phone call to his deputy Stellini before the afternoon session and another after, as is done with medicines; another to precede the afternoon one and one to find out how the visit to the footballers and the pediatric patients of the Federico II University Hospital went: the scenario has changed but the double session remains there, faithful to the breaks. Then there is Lele Oriali, club manager but also Conte’s lifelong friend, the counter-voice of his conscience, perhaps the confessor of these days full of everything and even nothing, the peace sought, the anti-stress loophole, the unusual choice to stay a little apart, beyond the fan that from Bologna fired a few things that are still stirring in the air in a city that has questioned itself and hasn’t stopped, if it wanted to understand what really happened and why all this noise two points from first place and with the Champions League certainly not denying access to the next round.
turbulent stop

But the storm seems to have passed, therefore the torment too, and now it’s Friday, another day without Conte, then the weekend will come, the real break for those who remained and on Monday everything will be as before (?): they will have to say something but it could also be avoided, since not everyone is there. To close and move on, so to next week, a little game with the Primavera, one of those challenges that used to be called family challenges. A little turbulent these days.
