Antonio Conte: words of love to Naples, but future in the balance
Calciomercato Napoli: Antonio Conte celebrates the Scudetto, but has yet to define his future. However, the dinner of the newly crowned champions d’Italia at Posillipo was the right opportunity to try to test the Salento coach’s willingness to remain in azzurro, as reflected in the words of Aurelio De Laurentiis.
“I absolutely have to embrace this gentleman – said De Laurentiis referring to Conte -. He took a team on the brink and together we’ve strengthened it. Then he found himself working without a star of the caliber of Kvaratskhelia, but he made a virtue of necessity by proposing four or five different modules. He is a soccer exegete, and he took us all the way by winning us the second Scudetto in three years. I ask for your applause and say thank you, thank you thank you”.
“Today made us emotional, so I thank you on behalf of myself and the team– said Conte instead, referring to the fans -The protagonists of this victory, however, are the players, and I want to say thank you to them. They are guys of great seriousness, who have shown themselves to be very good at overcoming difficulties. But if this square has won two championships, it means that the president is a winner. So congratulations also go to him, as well as to the square of Naples”.
Earlier, Conte had spoken to RAI microphones, spending honeyed words for Naples, understood both as a club and as a city: “Here enthusiasm and passion are extraordinary, they are not found everywhere. It is difficult not to create a special relationship with this environment, which gives everything and wants so much. But we gave everything we had. Winning is always nice, we work precisely to give ourselves and give days like these”. Will it be enough for a confirmation that appears anything but a foregone conclusion?
