Napoli, Conte's Via del Mare test: 250th match in hometown | OneFootball

Antonio Conte's Napoli continues to surprise, showing that they still have a cohesive group ready to react to difficulties. After the victory over Inter, the Azzurri are now preparing for Tuesday's away match against Lecce, a game that promises to be delicate, especially due to the absence of Kevin De Bruyne, who is dealing with a new injury. As highlighted in today's edition of Corriere dello Sport, the team will need to confirm the reaction shown in the last match and maintain the continuity of the work done so far.

Napoli, Conte celebrates 250 matches in his hometown: a heated atmosphere at Via del Mare

Lecce has yet to win at home this season, with two draws and as many defeats, but the match is always significant and the atmosphere at the Salento capital's stadium will be fiery. Despite this, tomorrow Via del Mare will have a special meaning for Conte: it is the coach's hometown and the stadium where he debuted in Serie A with the yellow-red jersey. It will also be an opportunity to celebrate his 250th match in the top league, an important milestone in the coach's career. Tuttosport emphasizes how Napoli has regained its trademark under Conte's guidance: defensive solidity, intensity, and speed in transitions are the team's distinctive traits, evident also in the victory on Inter's field. Furthermore, the Neapolitan club is ready to rely on the return of Amir Rrahmani and Rasmus Hojlund, who have been called up for the trip to Puglia, although it is not excluded that they might start from the bench to manage their energy.
