Napoli: Conte skips Atalanta presser, busy run to Super Cup

Antonio Conte will not speak to the press on the eve of Napoli-Atalanta. A understandable choice for the Napoli coach, who has decided to postpone any statements until after Saturday's game and the subsequent pre-Qarabag conference scheduled for Monday, on the eve of the fifth day of the Champions League.

Napoli, Conte, no pre-Atalanta conference. Busy schedule until the Super Cup

The decision comes at a crucial moment of the season: after the break, Napoli will enter an extremely intense cycle with seven matches spread across three competitions – league, national cup, and Champions League – before heading to Riyadh, where from December 14th the race for the Italian Super Cup will begin with the semifinal against Milan.

Why Conte will not speak on the eve

The decision to skip the pre-match press conference is a signal of maximum concentration. Conte wants to keep the group's focus on tactical and physical preparation, avoiding distractions and managing communication directly at decisive moments:

Saturday after the match with Atalanta

Monday before the Champions League clash with Qarabag

A strategy aimed at protecting the team during a delicate phase both for the schedule and for the season's objectives.

Napoli's schedule: seven matches in less than a month

The team is preparing for a tour de force that will require rotations, energy management, and the ability to interpret very different games.
