The Napoli coach gave a press conference ahead of the team’s match against Eintracht Frankfurt
“What matters is that we try to win tomorrow. We’re up against a good team, but we plan on giving it our all to win.” Antonio Conte spoke at a press conference ahead of matchday four of the Champions League.
“We’ve been hearing a lot of criticism ever since the start of the new season, and yet we’re top of the Serie A table, which means that we must have done something right. People often overlook the number of injured players we’ve had so far, and yet we’re still competing for first place despite the obstacles.
“What matters is that we win; our job is to understand how we can win from one match to the next. This also includes resorting to alternatives in our tactics and players. But we can’t forget about the various absences we’ve been having.
“We need to process this moment well. We have new additions who are helping us and who will be important for the season. Getting used to squad rotation must be a key characteristic for us to get the best out of every competition.
“If we win tomorrow, we can bounce back in the Champions League standings. We know we’re up against a tough opponent, but at this level they’re all good teams. But we’re ambitious and we have the right quality to also compete on the European stage.”
“I ask the Neapolitan people to always support us because we’re a solid team and a unity of purpose is also necessary to face external criticisms. We must be united because together we’re even stronger.”
