Conte talks about Xiaomi Lin Pudi: At first, some people questioned why we bought another goalkeeper

Hupu News, October 29, Naples defeated Lecce 1-0 in an away game in the 9th round of Serie A and continued to rank first in Serie A. After the game, Naples coach Conte also accepted an interview with the broadcaster DAZN and attended the press conference.

What do you think of this game?

"Such a game is never easy, especially after a lot of physical and mental exertion against Inter Milan. Today we faced a good team and playing in Lecce is always difficult. From this point of view, we performed well, but we should do a better job in game management in the final stage. Better. We didn't take any big risks, but that's where the head has to stay in the game. In a great team, the head always comes first, then the heart and the legs, so I tried to get the team back in balance during the game."

Did the team show character?

"We had a very good first half and hit the post once. We gave the opponent few chances as we tried to take control of the game, and there were even a few occasions where we should have gotten into the opponent's penalty area better. The second half was a close game, and the penalty call could have changed the direction of the game, but our goalkeeper performed well and we worked hard to get the win."

"People forget too quickly where we were at the start of the season: I We are moving forward relying on our will. Many key players are injured, but no one is crying, no one is making excuses. All summer, everyone has been talking about how strong our signings are, such as De Bruyne and Lukaku - two top players, but now some people say that we are weaker because of them. This sounds ridiculous, but it is also understandable, maybe because we feel threatening."

Are you playing without a championship pivot?

"Goalkeeper Meret's foot was injured, and before that, the third goalkeeper's hand was also injured. Now only Milinkovic-Savic is left, but at the beginning of the season some people questioned why Naples wanted to introduce another capable goalkeeper. It turns out that we bought a high-level goalkeeper. It is a pity that De Bruyne is injured. I remember the discussion about his joining. Now Some people actually say that his injury is some kind of 'advantage'... I can only say that I will not give up. Sometimes you have to make things clear. People talk a lot, but in the end you have to keep silent, because the results will always prove that those who are down-to-earth are right, rather than those who stand aside and judge when the wind is blowing. "

Did Anjisa tell you to be calmer?

"To be honest, I haven't seen him say it, but if he did, I would say that calmness is indeed needed in that situation, but calmness alone is not enough. Sometimes there will be panic in the game, and someone has to guide this situation. I am very satisfied with Frank, he has always been one of our core, like There are very few aggressive midfielders like him, but he can go further with his final kick. I like to cooperate with midfielders who come in because I have been such a player before and I also like to score goals. The more opportunities, the better."

How is Long's injury?

"Long was hit twice in the same part. I think it was muscle hardening, not a tear. I asked him why he asked to be replaced, and he explained the situation. I am happy for him, because this is his first start, and we need to involve everyone and find solutions in the difficulties. Today Elmas played well, Gilmore had some problems before and was not in good condition. We have to continue like this. The team's spirit has never been absent, and the same is true today."

About the penalty kick?

"I shouldn't complain here. It's only been a few days since the last game, and we also saw other teams behave differently in front of the referees in that game. We still trust the professionalism of Rocchi and the referee team, and hope that the complaints will not affect their judgment. When the club president stands up and speaks out, it is often to imply a certain tendency. We do not complain, but we are not fools."

What do you think of Lecce?

"I have nothing but good things to say about Lecce. They play tenaciously and have extra motivation at home. This is a well-organized team. I know Di Francesco very well and he is a very good coach. Lecce always find new players Uncover the surprise, the work of the sports directors Corvino and Trinqueira is top-notch, and I hope Lecce will stay in Serie A forever. I am a Lecce native, I was born there, I will always support Lecce, my roots are there, and no one can change that.”
