Napoli in Scudetto sprint, Conte returns to Lecce with one goal
Antonio Conte, Napoli coach, spoke to the press to introduce the league match against Lecce scheduled for Saturday, May 3 at 6 p.m. at the Via Del Mare in Lecce. Conte’s team arrives from the very important victory against Torino, thanks to which they gained the lone top of the standings. Now fate is completely in the hands of the Azzurri, who with 3 wins and 1 draw would become champions of Italy.
Lecce, on the other hand, comes from the draw in Bergamo against Atalanta, but needs points to be able to move away from the red zone of the standings. Therefore, it will be a crucial match for both of them to succeed in their goals.
The Azzurri coach began his press conference with, “It is not the most important match of the year either for us or for Lecce, because there are three more to go. We try to put the best players in and continue what we have done this term. The return to Lecce? It is a different game from the others. I was born in Lecce and became a man in Lecce. I will always remain faithful to the feeling that binds me to this city.”
He later continued: “We tried in emergencies to find the right formula. At the beginning maybe we made mistakes like against Monza, then we settled down. There are no infallible formulas and I know that everything depends on the result, although I don’t think it’s right. We try to make a virtue of necessity by putting the best players on the field. The desire, the study, the work and the game have always remained, otherwise you would not have the best defense in Europe and the numbers we have.”
Antonio Conte went on to say, “McTominay? Scott is a stronger player today than he was when he arrived, I think he also knows that he is becoming complete and deciding which way to go in his career since he never had a central role in Manchester. But like him everyone, otherwise you can’t explain our performance.”
He finally concluded by talking about: “Oliveira as a central player? Needless to answer, you already know everything.”
