Antonio Conte also spoke about his own future on the sidelines of the home match against the Lecce: “When I arrived in Naples I signed a three-year contract. It is normal that, at the end of each season, we sit down with the president to confront each other calmly, make assessments and figure out together which direction to take. We will do that again this year, at the end of the championship”. Conte reiterated that he is comfortable in the city, but stressed the importance of reflecting on the project: “In Naples I am well and comfortable, but it is right to stop and evaluate whether the path taken is the right one to continue. On my part there is great willingness and the will to continue this path”.

Antonio Cassano attacks Inter: "Thrown three scudetti"
The'former Bari striker doesn&#039t curb his words and takes it out on Marotta
"For 5 years, Inter is the strongest team, and it is also today", are the words of Cassano at Viva el Fútbol

"Only that Napoli has Conte who is a great coach…"

"…while they have thrown away 3 scudetti"
"And look at Juan Jesus…at'Inter had been forgotten"
"In Napoli he became important thanks to the work of Conte"

"Three scudetti have been thrown away and no one says it but us"

"It is the fifth year that Inter is the strongest team in Italy, which spends the most in terms of recruitment"

"Is it the truth or did Conte make something up? It is a fact"
"She is by far the strongest, with Inzaghi she did 4 years, 3 years down the drain, not won"

"Inter this year is still the strongest, only that the strongest coach has Napoli and they will both play it. The problem is this…"

The coach then talked about the formation choices and the management of players who have returned after long stops: “We are recovering players who were out for many months, and we cannot expect them to return to top condition right away. Against the Torino FC we had started with Elmas next to Gilmour, then in the second half I advanced Elmas by inserting Anguissa. Instead, today I chose to start with Anguissa and Gilmour, with Elmas as a trequartista. We were down and I changed: they are all strong players, but they need time to find their rhythm and intensity”.

Conte also explained the entry at the beginning of the second half of Scott McTominay and Kevin De Bruyne: “I train serious and professional guys, but I have to make choices. Scott was returning after a month’s stop and Kevin had not played for four and a half months. I take responsibility: everyone has to contribute for the good of Napoli and to achieve Champions League qualification, which for big clubs is crucial, let alone for us”.

Finally, a comment on the 600 career bench mark: “I am not one to look too much at statistics. I prefer to focus on the day-to-day work. But knowing that I have such a high point average and that I am ahead of so many great coaches is a source of great satisfaction”.
