The coach after the success against Atalanta: “First half with a high pace. Changing room problems? There’s a great relationship.” The president: “The players followed the instructions”
A beneficial break for Napoli, which showed up reinvigorated when the championship resumed and was seen with a very convincing success over Atalanta. Antonio Conte can only be pleased with the performance. “We are satisfied with the victory and how it was achieved, after a first half played at a very high pace which we also tried to replicate in the second half with high pressure. Then it is normal that a losing team pours into the opponent’s half of the pitch and we could have managed the ball better, but it is because we won against a very strong team. Atalanta had a great victory in Marseille a few weeks ago. There was great energy and electricity at Maradona this evening” observed the coach at the end of the match.

What better way, in short, to respond to all the rumors that have been circulating around the locker room, about the cohesion of the group. “Of certain aspects those who are on the outside are more concerned and don’t know the type of relationship I have with the players, very intense and very strong, where we always try to tell each other the truth because I am a transparent and true man, without masks. I am as you see me, perhaps many don’t like it, but they have always taught me that honesty is needed without looking the other way when something isn’t right. It’s right for the media to talk, we have to continue working. Rest? Well, we have to play on Tuesday in the Champions League with Qarabag, so we must immediately recover our energy for this new challenge.”

Aurelio De Laurentiis was also able to note a reassuring return to normality. “Well done to Antonio Conte for taking back control of the team. Well done to the players who followed his instructions” wrote the president on The good news is that the trident with the three-man defense has given excellent signals. “The real problem is the last tile that has fallen on us, with Anguissa who was injured in the national team, which led me to make some objective reflections because in midfield there are very few of us left. Elmas is not a real central midfielder, we had Lobotka and McTominay and an excellent prospect like Vergara who however is more offensive and knows how to play between the lines” concluded the coach.
