Conte: After winning the championship last season, everyone has high expectations, and the schedule is intensive and needs to give new players a chance.

September 13th In the third round of Serie A, Napoli will challenge Fiorentina away. Naples coach Conte attended the pre-match press conference.

What is the current situation in Naples?

We are about to enter the closest stage of the schedule, with a game every three days. In the first two rounds of Serie A, we mainly rely on the team's original core players, but now it is time for new players to gradually participate. This requires a little patience, as there may be some mistakes, and expectations are high, but balance and understanding when making judgments.

Will this be the toughest season?

No doubt, this is true. Our championship last season was a bit unexpected, but with it everyone's huge expectations. My mission is to get new players growing in the shortest time, we have entered the second phase of the project, but now starting the new season with the title of Serie A title is something that was not expected and obviously changed everyone's perspective.

Currently, some Napoli players have suffered injuries. Rahmani's absence due to injury has had a great impact on us. He is one of the team's pillar players. With the arrival of intensive schedules, there is a game every three days and the risk of players being injured increases. Because of this we have done some work in the transfer market this summer to make sure we are ready. It is important now to give new players the opportunity to quickly integrate into the team’s system and become immediately part of the team’s program. Buongiorno? He underwent surgery this summer and has recovered well, has been training normally for the past two weeks and is ready to play. Hoylen and Elmas? They also played in the national team and I saw that they were in good shape and we needed them to play immediately. What is the situation with

Anguysa?

Regarding Anguysa, Lukaku's injury forced us to rethink some new strategies and adopt different solutions. Hermas was selected for his versatile traits, and Anguysa competed in the national team on Tuesday and just returned to the team yesterday. Now he can play normally and is in good shape.

Who would you choose in the goalkeeper position?

We have two very good goalkeepers. Merret is a reliable candidate, and he was the main goalkeeper when he won the first two championships in Napoli. Milinkovic Savage comes from a different environment and is working hard to adapt and will get the right opportunity to show his abilities. We chose to introduce him because he has different characteristics from Merret.

Finally, please tell me that this game

Fiorentina is a real threat. They have reached the European finals twice in the past few years and have greatly enhanced the team's strength through the transfer market. I think they are fully qualified to be one of the seven or eight teams that will make the Serie A more competitive.
