Tiberio Ancora: No comment on Napoli’s 12 injuries, top pros there | OneFootball

On Stile TV during Raffaele Auriemma’s show “Salite sulla giostra,” Tiberio Ancora, former personal trainer for Conte’s Napoli, spoke.

Napoli, Tiberio Ancora to our microphones: “I won’t say anything about Napoli’s 12 injuries, I only know they have excellent professionals”

These were his statements to our microphones: “12 injuries at Napoli? I’m not saying anything, otherwise you’ll tear me apart like it already happened! I’ll keep quiet, stay silent, and just say that Napoli has excellent professionals who know what they have to do. Freedom of speech should exist, but people’s malice is unheard of. And I, not being used to all this, am always left speechless. There are mediocre and nasty people who sling mud without knowing the facts. It’s too easy to judge without knowing. Where do they even find the time to write all that nastiness on social media! Napoli has built a very respectable squad and there are people used to winning. Then we’ll have to see how these matches are approached and what the result will be, because once you start winning, your strength triples.”

“I believe Napoli will manage to get great satisfaction at the European level as well. Conte is a great planner; I call him a visionary because he sees things we can’t. Out of 10 intuitions he has, he might get one wrong, but he nails the other 9! He has this gift of seeing what will happen beforehand and then knowing how to build. Besides being a great motivator, he brings out the soul of every player, every staff member; everyone identifies with his project, and over the years I’ve seen him create a harmonious group everywhere so that everything goes in the right direction. With Conte you breathe serenity and the awareness of having reached immense strength. This comes with the acquisition of strong signals that the coach gives you every day. I was with Conte for 20 years; when he was at Inter I wasn’t there, I was at Roma. Because when we came back from Chelsea he stayed out for a year and I signed with Roma. Politano suggested to the coach that he wanted to apply himself in that role. The coach did well to instill in him the awareness that he could do well; Matteo did a great job applying himself and, being someone who wants to stay at a high level, he put a lot into it. If he pays attention to details, he can perform great for 90 minutes, and if he applies himself even more, he can only improve. Politano is a rock-solid athlete and the coach knows that.”

“De Bruyne has improved. He showed up this year with alarming percentages. At this level, if you’re not in shape you don’t run, and when you don’t have certain percentages you can’t sustain the intensity, especially Conte’s intensity. In the before-and-after photo the point is that De Bruyne showed the desire to improve, and today he’s half of what he was when he arrived. Lukaku acted as my translator to make sure he understood which tips to follow. The boy applied himself, he was always present and did everything, which is why the results are evident. He has already improved and will improve a lot more. Considering the player’s quality, intelligence, and humility, I’m sure he’ll return to being the one we all know. Rrahmani is a phenomenon, a good kid, a great athlete, he never says a word out of place, he’s always first in training, he lives football from Monday to Sunday and identifies with Chiellini and Buffon. Rrahmani is one of the strongest players I’ve known in my life.”
