Napoli, Conte extremely pleased: "A focused, top-level performance" | OneFootball

Napoli, Conte: “Serious and high-level performance. Lukaku? His presence is good for the group”.

After the 0-0 draw at Maradona between Napoli and Como, Antonio Conte commented on the performance of his men to the microphones of DAZN, praising the spirit and cohesion of the team despite the difficulties: “The match was played at very high and intense levels. Como can complain about the penalty, but in the second half we deserved something more. Today Como is a reality, compliments to them but also to my boys because we put in a serious performance, even having to face several difficulties. We had to improvise Elmas as a playmaker, Gutierrez came in very well: two performances that give me confidence and add to those of the starters.”

The blue coach then analyzed the balance of the match: “It was a European-style match, between two brave teams. I am much happier today than other times when we won. They did better in the first half, we did much better in the second. In the end, I would say the draw is fair, also because our goalkeeper didn't have to make great saves.” Finally, Conte spoke about the condition of Romelu Lukaku, still sidelined due to injury: “I don't know when he will return. You have to ask the doctors. He is working to recover from this serious injury, but his presence is good for the group regardless. He is a serious guy, a leader, and the group also needs his leadership. We are happy to have seen him again, and we will be even happier when he can help us on the field.”
