PSV Eindhoven-Napoli, Antonio Conte's Pre-Match Words

Soon, Antonio Conte's Napoli will take center stage in the Champions League, in the match valid for the third day of the group stage. The Azzurri cannot afford to make mistakes against PSV, so it will be crucial to secure the three points, also to boost morale after the league defeat against Torino. The Azzurri's coach spoke to Sky Sport's microphones in the pre-match of PSV Eindhoven-Napoli.

On McTominay's presence: “Yes, McTominay is playing, and that's perfectly fine.”

Napoli in the name of continuity: the decision to confirm Lucca: “Whoever has the chance to play from the start must give us signals, important signals. Lorenzo is a player who is working hard, trying to raise the level. Unfortunately, even as a precaution, it's better to have kept Hojlund at rest, not to risk him. This is a great opportunity for Lorenzo, also to have continuity after the match with Torino. It's important to give good responses.”

The key to the next 90 minutes: “The approach will be important, and playing a good match because we are facing a strong team. They won the championship last year, we've studied them, and they are not an easy team to play against. We will need to be very careful. Then, based on the match, we will make choices in the second half if there is a need to strengthen certain areas or others.”
