Antonio Conte cuts short on renewal of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
Speaking at a press conference to introduce Saturday afternoon's advance match with Lecce, Antonio Conte also spoke about the negotiations related to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s contract renewal: "It has been talked about for quite a while'. Surely there's a discussion between club and entourage. To go into details is not my job. The club speaks. What I can say è he continues to do what he is doing. &Eegrave; a serious and exemplary professional and he must be focused on this season".
" Then I hope that in the future things can be settled,” added the Napoli coach. “I hope that an agreement can be found, but I know that in soccer anything can happen. There has to be an agreement that satisfies all parties. I do not go beyond the season, I ask him to honor the jersey until the end of the season. He has to be focused on doing what he is doing. I am not worried".
On the challenge with the Salentini: "I don't like to talk about turnover talk, for me they are all starters, then there are choices to be made based on what I see, maybe some aches and pains that you guys can't know even though I see that you can know 85 percent of what's going on (laughs, ed.). I'll try to put the best lineup on the field, the lineup that I think is the right one also because there's a game to play with Lecce to keep getting results and that's the basis of everything, then I still have tomorrow to make the final decisions and draw up the starting 11.
"I hope for a different approach, in Empoli I do not think it was an approach wanted by me or the players, sometimes there are also the opponents, external situations that then lead to find those difficulties. We want to improve, do better than in Empoli" concluded Conte.
