Conte: Credit to Torino, Napoli must improve every day | OneFootball

Antonio Conte spoke to DAZN about Napoli’s defeat away to Torino, a setback that still highlights room for improvement for the Azzurri: “In the first half we were organized, we created chances, but we stopped there. In the second half we put in more energy, but we basically gifted them the goal ourselves. Congratulations to Torino for the win, but tonight we did everything ourselves.”

Napoli, Conte to DAZN: “Tonight we did everything ourselves, about the defensive phase..”

The coach then revisited the criticism of the squad, without wanting to fuel controversy: “I don’t want to repeat things I’ve already said. I simply highlighted normal aspects for those who live football: building a team takes time and patience. Our season depends on the growth of the new arrivals. We play every three days, there’s no time to stop: we have to keep improving and trust the process.”

On the defensive phase, Conte clarified the dynamics of the goal conceded: “The goal came from us, not from a defensive error. There was a ricochet where Gilmour, who played very well, accidentally touched the ball and Simeone took advantage. Our style of play keeps us in the opponent’s half, so it’s normal to concede some counters. There weren’t any particular defensive lapses: we need to keep working on duels and improve further.”
