After last night’s 2-6 away defeat against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League, Napoli coach Antonio Conte recalled that he had already said that they had a difficult season ahead of them because nine new players arrived at the club.
This is certainly a disappointment, but it is not a coincidence. That is the level of the Champions League, we have nothing to complain about, and we have a lot of work ahead of usConte said to the Italian media.
This is the first time that a team led by Conte has received six hitsand the Italian expert coached Juventus, Chelsea, Inter, Tottenham and the national team of his country before coming to Napoli.
Last season we won the scudetto with a very limited roster. There was unity in the team, and the players played games beyond their abilities. Nine new players joined the team during the summer. That’s a lot in my opinion, but we were forced to do so.
It’s me warned that a difficult season awaits us and I wasn’t saying that to create an alibi for myself, but from my own experience. I take my share of the responsibility. But now we must not despair, we must create chemistry in the team like we had last season. It takes time and patience. We have to introduce new players into the mechanism of this team, not only on the field but also in the dressing roomnoted Conte.
After seven rounds, Napoli is in third place in the domestic championship, it has only one point less than the leader AC Milan. However, they only have three points in the Champions League, they won at home against Sporting, and lost against Manchester City and PSV last night.
