PSV-Napoli, Conte to Sky: No changes needed, tough year ahead | OneFootball

After losing 6-2 against PSV on the third day of the Champions League, Napoli's coach, Antonio Conte, commented on the team's poor result in the Dutch field to Sky Sport.

PSV-Napoli, Conte to Sky “We don’t need to change anything, I’ve already said it will be a difficult year”

The coach from Lecce appeared slightly critical and doubtful about the market moves, considering “too many” the nine additions to the squad, which are therefore difficult to manage in a short time: “After tonight there is disappointment, we should be good at trying to reverse this trend. Last year we won an extraordinary championship with very few players: now we have more matches and nine players are too many, but we had to add them because the squad wasn’t there. Nine players are difficult to assimilate in the locker room itself, we need to try to rediscover the chemistry of last season. Seeing certain things in the locker room, I repeat to you that this year will be complicated.

Tactically, we don’t need to change anything, the balance we have now is perfect, and it doesn’t seem right to sacrifice one of the four midfielders. If you win, everything is fine; if you lose, it goes badly. Everyone praised the choice of the four midfielders with De Bruyne. A good coach is one who puts the best players on the field from the start, finding the right chemistry. At the moment, the two offensive wingers don’t give us balance. I always try to help my players; it was certainly my fault for being less aggressive on the bench: next time I’ll bring the whip and a stool like tiger tamers (laughs, ed.). The first half, all in all, we played well, the second went like this.”
