Napoli, Antonio Conte bow-headed: “We like snow in the sun.”
Harsh words after a defeat without extenuating circumstances.
Napoli koed in Verona, where Hellas picked up a 3-0 win that highlighted even more the difficulties of the Parthenopean team already denounced in recent weeks. Underlining them was an afflicted Antonio Conte, who did not use mincing words in talking about the Azzurri’s problems, even taking them on.
"In the first half there's only been one team on the field, as it seems to me that Verona never even made a shot. In the second però they immediately found the goal and on the second chance they scored. At that point we melted like snow in the sun, and I just feel like humbly apologizing to the people of Napoli", Conte told the microphones of 'Sky Sport'.
"The coach is me, and it è right that I take full responsibility for what è happened. Our second half è was unacceptable,” Conte continued, “and we will have to work from every point of view. I arrived in Naples with great desire and enthusiasm, I make myself totally available and if I can give any kind of help I will give itò".
Conte moreover wanted to reject the idea that Napoli’s problems are all the result of the soccer market. "I am concerned that we dissolve in this way at the first difficulty. From the market can come one, two, three, four players, or as many as the club wants to take. But the problem has to be solved upstream, and it is not è easy to do it", admitted the blue coach.
