Napoli, Antonio Conte satisfied with latest arrivals

Here are the statements to DAZN microphones of Napoli coach Antonio Conte after the last-second victory over Cagliari thanks to a goal by Anguissa.

“At our goal in the last seconds I said ‘finally!’ There are games where you run a great risk of losing, but we played as a real team with patience, trying to find situations to score goals. There&#8217s when you shoot and you score goals, but today it looked haunted against a very intense and defensive Cagliari like I don&#8217t expect. But we were good at not conceding restarts and that means we have grown in mentality and action. We had several chances and I am very happy at the end”.

“We took players who can give us a hand in the present and others for the future of Naples. We completed the roster because we cannot rely on 12-13 players, and this year we needed new players in a championship team. Now Elmas arrives, who would have given us a hand from the bench today, and Hojlund should also arrive as a replacement for Lukaku, we do things to complete the roster that last year could not have held all the competitions we have this year’year”.

“As for Lucca, I repeat that he was taken to grow and learn with Lukaku, then Romelu got injured so he has to accelerate. He has to continue to work as he is doing, in a way, seriously, and he has to understand well how to fit well into certain mechanisms of the team”.

“Buongiorno is back from injury, Ambrosino made his debut, last game Vergara happened to make his debut. They are two players who will stay in the squad, because we still need to have a total of players to face all competitions. Because we are a bit short at the nursery level, Ambrosino and Vergara represent a good idea. I the signal I wanted to send to everyone, including them, is that they will be an integral part of the squad”.
