The words of Antonio Conte

These are the statements of Napoli coach Antonio Conte ahead of the challenge of the "Diego Armando Maradona" against Como, which will open the seventh day of the championship.

"With Cesc we won with Chelsea the Premier, we shared many important moments, I always thought he could be a coach and I am happy with the path he is taking. He is proving to be very prepared from all points of view. Como è the revelation team of this beginning of the season, in the last three games they have collected seven points beating Atalanta and Verona and drawing with a Champions team like Bologna. They have health, quality and the right mix of young and experienced players. They will give us big problems, they come with self-confidence and and enthusiasm" began the coach of the partenopei.

"We know very well that we are at the beginning and as I always say è a period of adjustment a bit' for all teams and the six different leaders corroborates my thinking. For us è it is important to have put hay in the barn, it makes you be more calm even when the harder times come. We continue to believe in the path we are on, and I am very satisfied because I have the pleasure of working with a group that gives me ample availability," continued the Napoli coach.

"We will be the first to play and by winning we can remain at the top of the standings, but now it matters little, while collecting three more points è fundamental. We will face one of the most difficult teams, but we are preparing well. Pressure è something  that we have to get used to having all the time, we have to have it within us to be able to win games. Some smart guys want to put it on us from the outside to cover their team, but it is part of the game" added the former Inter and Juventus coach.

"I just ask my guys to work without thinking about the standings. I try to put the players in the condition to make the 3 points in every game, this è the mentalityà to bring to every match. We know that we will not always be able to win and this makes you understand the difficultyà of the championship, forò we have to be theì as hammers and try to put as much hay as possible in the farmhouse" commented Antonio Conte.
