Antonio Conte stings rivals for the Scudetto and downsizes the market

Antonio Conte spoke after the win over Pisa: “It is never easy to win, today we played against a team I had warned the boys about. It was not an easy game, because when you play the game and you have strong leg players it can become a problem. Definitely there’s satisfaction for starting with 4 wins, it&#8217s never easy for anyone in a very balanced league with 6-7 teams of very good level”.

“Lucca I embraced it because it is working so hard, like the others. We unlike other teams don&#8217t have a roster that is broken in to do three competitions, we have filled the team with players who come from different realities and are playing with the Scudetto on their jersey. The Scudetto weighs, it’s like a boulder in terms of expectations. Some of them still have to grow and level up, there just isn&#8217t time and experience is gained by playing. The 150 million spent should be divided among out of 9 players that makes an average of 10 to 15 million. Important players have other costs. That is why I preach calm: for us it will be the most difficult year ever” added the Napoli coach.

He concluded on the market: “Here, we have put many players in the squad but the big market is another thing. You need patience, accept even the mistake, but compared to teams that systematically make Europe we are not yet broken in. That is why playing every 3-4 days brings difficulties, you need time and patience”.
