Conte: Napoli are fighting to stay at the top and that will upset some people, I understand

Hupu November 03 News: Naples is about to face Frankfurt at home in the first stage of the Champions League. Before the game, Naples head coach Conte attended the press conference.

Naples vs. Frankfurt is equivalent to Italy vs. Germany. The national team reminds people a lot, and some people say that Serie A is even behind the Bundesliga...

"I don't think Serie A is behind the Bundesliga. Everyone is at the same level. The only league that is beyond the scope at present is the Premier League. This is due to economic strength and infrastructure reasons. Germany... We do envy a league with fewer games, a break in the winter and subsequent resumption. We do not have this advantage. In addition, Bayern is in Operating at a super high level, there are strong clubs and players, forming an unrivaled force. There are also some good teams further down, such as Leverkusen, which has reached the Europa League finals, and other teams such as Frankfurt, Stuttgart, and Dortmund, which are all at the same level as us and at the same level as Serie A. "

How to prepare for a game when there is very little recovery time and there are so many injuries?

"I will remind the boys how they faced Sporting CP when the entire main defense was not there and five of last season's main players were absent, but we still won. People always forget the huge difficulties and only look at the result in the end. Tomorrow is another important game. We will go our own way and try to digest one game every three days."

"Encountering difficulties is inevitable. As long as someone is injured you have to find a replacement, sometimes even the third substitute. When the real misfortune happens, we have to use some players, and the risk will be greater because he has only practiced for two days. Today we prepared some training content, we will recover on Wednesday, and after training on Thursday, we will be ready to play in Bologna. We have to digest and find certainty as much as possible, such as the performance of Elmas and Gutierrez. This is a way to digest the game and manage fatigue."

Do you think the referees in Europe are better than those in Serie A?

"I'm not going to talk about referees, let's leave it at that. Whenever you talk about referees, the issue gets mixed up, you see? As long as someone opens their mouth, there will be more and more things said. So let's not talk about referees, otherwise we will mess things up even more. I say it again, I'm sorry It's a pity, because sometimes this system does not have a solid foundation. As long as there is a slight disturbance, as long as someone stands up and says that they want to improve Italian football, you see what will happen..."

"I am talking about reality. Let us be quiet now, and I hope they will pay more attention. . I don’t understand that now that there is a replay screen, sometimes the referee is not called to look at it, but once he is called over, it does not actually mean that there is a wrong call, but the referee will feel that he has to change the call. Sometimes the referee may have seen it correctly at first, but when you call him over, he will feel that he has made a mistake. It must have been a misjudgment. Sometimes it was right at first, but it turned out to be wrong after the change. So we have to pay attention. The current system is very fragile. We have to cooperate, but in the right way, not like in the past."

Is this a "win or go home" game? What kind of Napoli will we see tomorrow?

"We found an important alternative in the previous game against Inter Milan: when Hoylen was away, we put Neres in a more advanced position to use his speed, and I think that worked. Against Como, we also tried to play Neres in the center in order to return to the 4-3-3 formation. The overall idea has not changed. Tomorrow's game can take us further in the Champions League group rankings, but the strength of the opponent Also strong, like all opponents. We know what we do in difficult situations and I feel obliged to defend this team."

"When I talk about Naples fans, I mean that they don't be fooled by the voices that are deliberately spread to create absurd expectations or to destroy the team. Napoli people must always stay united with the team and cover their ears. Napoli people love to dream. People, but the outside world also knows that just a few words can cause panic and frustration, so we have to stay compact and believe in the players and coaches, they are the only ones who want to do good for the team. Everything the outside world says is irrelevant. "

"We have to stick together. This season will be difficult and complicated, so I pay tribute to these boys, although it is difficult, but I think. Looking at the standings, we can still see our position, if we win tomorrow we will get 6 points in the Champions League. The whole environment must be on our side, not to be behind those who cause trouble, not to exaggerate, not to be inadequate. Napoli will cause trouble for people, because Napoli is fighting to stay at the front, and this will upset some people, but despite the difficulties, we are here and are not afraid.”
