Napoli v Inter: Bonolis says Conte eager to bounce back | OneFootball

On STILETV, during the broadcast “Salite Sulla Giostra” by Raffaele Auriemma, Paolo Bonolis, a television presenter and devoted Inter fan, made an appearance.

Napoli-Inter, Paolo Bonolis on our microphones: “Conte is an excellent coach, he’ll be eager for redemption”

Here are the statements from the well-known presenter to Carlo Gioia and Raffaele Auriemma: “After a thrashing, after a difficult situation, there’s a desire for redemption and therefore greater determination, whereas when you’re confident in your strength, you can relax a little. In sports, it happens to take an unexpected hit, to have a bad day or for everything to go wrong, but it shouldn’t be a moral issue. We’re talking about professionals, so the match against PSV won’t be a tragedy. For us, that bad night weighed heavily because it was a Champions League final, but Napoli lost a game, it can happen. Conte is an excellent coach, I appreciate him, he makes me laugh because sometimes he’s a bit of a front, but that’s fine. When he has few players, he says they’re too few, when he has many, he says they’re too many, there’s no middle ground. In Rome, they say he puts his hands out in front to fall backward, but it’s a communication tactic. Chivu? I wasn’t skeptical because I know him, he’s a very likeable person, with principles and values. He knows how to face things with both lightness and commitment, and that’s ideal. Chivu has a wonderful job, then there are difficult and exciting moments in every profession. The Inter management decided that the transfer market should be about spending, yes, but as an investment. So they pick someone who can guarantee a long professional career. They’ve identified good players, all youngsters, young guys who also need time to develop to their full potential. Then this Diouf arrived, a mysterious figure. It’s clear that these are kids coming from other countries and at that age it’s not easy to adapt, it even happened to Platini, for example, whose first impact was quite unusual, but time is passing.”

The anti-Inter? The teams are the usual ones, but Milan has the big advantage of not having international commitments and this is fundamental because it doesn’t force you to make choices, it doesn’t force you to shift your focus, it protects you from potential injuries and above all, it keeps the desire to play alive by going on the pitch once a week. When you play every three days, there’s fatigue and keeping your concentration high all the time isn’t easy. Napoli, Inter, Juve, and Atalanta will therefore have to deal with a level of determination that isn’t always so easy to maintain. So Inter is a team to beat, just like Napoli or Milan. I’m really enjoying not only Inter, but also Como, I’m crazy about them, they’ll be a headache for anyone, and so will Roma, which is an annoying team, plays well, and has a rather thin attacking potential—I hope those two lads can unlock themselves. Lazio? Sarri is a pure phenomenon because he has dead players, they didn’t buy him anyone because they couldn’t, so he’s doing triple somersaults with very, very little at his disposal. If I could choose a member of Napoli’s football to bring to Inter? The idea of an Italian president fascinates me. I like the idea of a man with passion in his heart, but if I have to choose a player to put on the field, personally from Napoli I’d take Lobotka because I like him a lot.”
