Leonardo Semplici, coach, gave an interview to Radio Goal, live on Kiss Kiss Napoli: “3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1 for Conte? He needs little advice, he is one of the many coaches who is convinced about some game systems. There are characteristics to respect and he is a coach who gives guarantees. Napoli, in today’s squad, has the flexibility to play both modules. Today there is a complete squad and then we have to wait for the transfer market. The 3-5-2 has changed a lot over the years, now they also play in Europe with a three-man defence. At European level they said that the three-man defense couldn’t win, but that’s normal because they all used to play four-man defense. Today, the evolution of football and the importance of the bottom-up approach has changed things a bit, there are many ways to express themselves, but a team like Napoli will want to play the game and will need defenders who are capable from a technical point of view. The center left arm must be left-handed, then Di Lorenzo on the center right would be perfect. The central of the three is not important whether he is right or left. Defense of Italy? I expect a three-man defence, I believe that Spalletti is always very attentive to the various developments and has a squad with which he can play both as a four-man and a three-man. He will make the best decision for his debut, but the three-man defense would provide ample guarantees. Raspadori? I think he is a central striker, he is so intelligent that he can also assert himself as a centre-forward in a 3-4-3. He can also play as a winger or under striker, but in the long run his true role will be that of central striker.”
