Napoli, Costi to STILETV: No worries, curious how Conte adapts | OneFootball

The day after Milan-Napoli, a match that marked the first league defeat for the Italian champions, there are many doubts and concerns among the Napoli fans. This morning, during "Salite Sulla Giostra" by Raffaele Auriemma, broadcast on STILE TV, Giandomenico Costi, former sports director of Napoli, spoke and analyzed the match at Meazza.

Milan-Napoli, Costi comments: “A painless defeat for the Partenopei, we will see how the Azzurri react”

On Stile TV during the program “Salite sulla giostra” by Raffaele Auriemma, Giandomenico Costi, former sports director of Napoli, intervened. These are the words with which the former sports director analyzed the Azzurri's defeat: “It is a painless defeat for Napoli considering how it happened. Napoli is in better shape than Milan even physically, they created a lot and in the last half hour they kept pushing, so they are doing well. The big problem now concerns the infirmary. I don't know the extent of the injuries to Rrahmani and Buongiorno because central defenders and the forward are the roles that condition the team. Marianucci's leg didn't hold up, there was no mistake, so we need to understand how long Rrahmani and Buongiorno will be out.

“All great teams concede something and in these occasions, you need a great central defender. De Bruyne and Modric? Modric has a role more suited to his characteristics, similar to Lobotka, while I don't know if De Bruyne can play in front of the defense, but I don't think so because he doesn't dictate the pace of the game. I believe that De Bruyne physically has problems covering spaces. Conte has regenerated many players, and we hope that De Bruyne is able to accept growing physically as well. However, it is October and he still doesn't have the condition. This year there are many strong teams, Napoli is stronger than last year, but the problem now is injuries. Last year Conte did a masterpiece, it will be interesting to see how he behaves this year with more commitments.”
