Napoli, Conte: “Rest for Kvaratskhelia and Politano? That’s why, but the important thing is to win
Ahead of the upcoming match between Napoli and Lecce, the Azzurri coach, Antonio Conte, spoke with DAZN about his team’s preparation and expectations. According to Conte, there were four changes made to the starting lineup compared to the previous match, with Meret returning in place of Elia, Olivera taking the place of Spina, and Kvaratskhelia and Ngonge up front.
In considering rest for players like Kvaratskhelia and Politano, Conte emphasized that the key is to win, not to rest. “It’s not written that we will win today,” he stated. Instead, he emphasized the importance of doing a little of everything on the field, including horizontal possession, verticalizing, and finding the goal.
In essence, Conte’s strategy is to aim for a balance between different aspects of the game, with the ultimate goal of scoring more goals than the opposing team. It is a team effort, and no individual player is given special treatment, including Kvaratskhelia and Politano.
Ultimately, the focus remains on winning, and Conte’s guidance will likely aid in achieving just that. With a talented squad like Napoli’s, the pressure is on to perform well, and Conte’s direction will be crucial in helping the team reach its full potential.
