The defender in the press conference in Iserlohn: “Conte like Spalletti, they are two great coaches”
At home in Italy, three days after the debut at Euro 2024 against Albania, it is the day of the press conference Giovanni Di Lorenzo, one of the veterans of the triumphant adventure of three years ago. The full-back is teased above all about his future at Napoli. “I haven’t spoken yet because the national team decides who speaks… A lot is being written, I could have even decided not to come but I’m calm – said the footballer -. I spoke with the club at the end of the championship, we talked to each other, but now the concentration is maximum on this competition. What bothers me is this assumption, what interests me is doing well here with the national team. Someone said I’m sad, silent, but that’s bullshit. These are untrue things and then people want to spread untrue things, I am very calm and ready to face this European Championship with Italy. Then when the time comes to talk about Napoli I will, I won’t hold back, now the most important thing is to stay focused on the European Championship“.
Spalletti in the national team and Conte in Napoli (maybe). “They are certainly two coaches who are having an incredible career, both have reached the Italian national team and therefore only congratulations, it is an honor to be coached by them.” A joke also on Conte’s words of esteem for him: “I can only be happy with what he said, he is a great coach and being esteemed by him and by great coaches is nice, it means that what I have done has been appreciated “.
On who surprised him the most among his new teammates. “I already knew Scamacca, he is a very strong player but this year he has found consistency and will give us a great hand. Calafiori made a good impression on me in these first days of training camp, confirming the championship played in Bologna. I could say him” .
