RIYADH (ARABIA SAUDITA) (ITALPRESS) – The possibility to play a trophy can give the right push to cancel the negative moment, testified by the two consecutive defeats with Benfica, in Champions, and Udinese in the championship. Word of Antonio Conte, the technician of Naples intervened on the eve of the semifinal of the Italian Super Cup against Milan: “Vincere likes everyone, we seek victory even in the right way. The percentages we have are important, but we know that they can be improved, but also worsened. Milan? We are talking about a great club – he added –, there is a desire to measure and see the level we can achieve in this type of game. The fact of being able to play a trophy gives us an important emotional boost to try to give the most and enjoy the event”.
The team’s technician then analyzed the period that is crossing the team: “It’s a moment, we came from five victories, now we lost two races, it’s inevitable that there are several moments, the important thing is to keep working, with desire and determination and with the right enthusiasm, I think it’s the best thing. In defeat you must be good at analyzing why to try to improve. These are times you have to face when you play every three days, you must be good at managing it, it always passes everything from work.”.
Antonio Conte then spoke about the return of Lobotka and the condition of Romelu Lukaku, who had suffered from a muscle injury that affected the first part of the season: “Lobotka played half an hour in Udine, the problem he had was not a serious problem, but there are situations where there are serious injuries and losing players for so long. Now he’s ready to play. Lukaku doesn’t even have a few minutes in his legs, we have to wait and have patience. It is positive that he returned to the group, has charisma and personality, this is a positive aspect. It is an important return, but you will have to be patient and understand from the tests when you can return without any danger.”.
The technician finally commented on the new format, is in fact the first time he participates in a final four for the Italian Supercoppa: “It’s definitely a good experience, it’s the first time. All of us want to live it well, giving everything and possibly hoping to extend our stay here until Monday. As I always say, it wins the best.”.
During the conference, Captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo also spoke: “We’re good, we’re good at this game, but this will be a dry race, we want to play it at the same time, the team is fine and wants to play against Milan. We want to go to the final in regulatory minutes, the team is ready, we know we will face a strong team, the concentration is maximum.”.
Di Lorenzo added: “We know that tomorrow’s game passes from how we will defend ourselves, when he defends well then attacks himself better, it’s an aspect that involves the whole team, we will have to try to make a right match at the defensive level. We face a great team, with great players, but we are ready and we will try to do our best to get to play the final”.
