RIYADH (ARABIA SAUDITA) (ITALPRESS) – “We must not forget where we come from, or from an extraordinary shield after a tenth place. And it is something that is not underlined enough.” Antonio Conte traced the line, Napoli arrives at the final of Italian Supercoppa against Bologna in a complex season, between injuries and defeats that marked the way. But the team managed to get up, as pointed out several times by the technician: “I had already said that it would be a complex year since nine new players entered, it’s not just trapping them. I knew it would be my most complex season, but at the end of the season we are where we should be. We came to play Super Cup and we’re in the final. We have the chance to win a title and move forward in other competitions. Despite the complexity, many forget that we had serious injuries of important players. It is inevitable that there is an incidence, but sometimes it pretends not to see”.
Conte added: “Bologna-Napoli, in the championship, was not positive. In the second half they deserved, they put something more than us. When there is a defeat you have to be good at analyzing, we have done it honestly, from Bologna we have departed. It is inevitable that when you play every three days it is not simple, especially when the boys are stressed. We are preparing this game well, as I always say to the boys it is good to arrive in the final, but we always remember who has won, so it will be in the future”. It will therefore be necessary to play carefully and manage an opponent who comes to the challenge with a different enthusiasm: “They are more hungry than us? If this happens, it would be our fault. Bologna can raise the cup, but it must prove to be better than us, but not on hunger and desire, that at least we have to draw it.” The technician of Naples then spoke of Vincenzo Italiano: “I can only talk about it well, he gave up, as I did, where he went he always did well, you see the determination he has, we coaches cannot think of stopping us. He is one of those coaches who is hungry to arrive.”.
During the conference the blue striker Matteo Politano also spoke: “Ours is a group that has always been joined, we have always said things in the face, we have helped both inside and outside the field. It is a strong Naples both outside and inside the camp. Surely it will be a game with great intensity, with many duels. We have to go strong on all duels. It will be an open race, but we want to take this trophy home. I expect a tough race where they both want to impose their game.”.
