The new Italian coach is obsessed with victory, the president is learning to relate to the former coach who has already eliminated a player from the squad
It’s always been done this way. For Antonio Conte not only is the verb losing not included in his dictionary but he demands discipline, order, obedience, rigid methods to achieve victory which is his mantra and his obsession. Napoli is getting to know their new coach who has only been in the city for a few days so far but has already made his mark.
Conte’s screams heard by everyone
That Conte has a smoking-hot character is no mystery and the Neapolitans are learning to know him. In the hotel that hosted him there were those who were scared to hear him scream while he was talking on the phone but he also made himself heard in Castelvolturno. While waiting for the official presentation, which will be held on Wednesday 26 June at Palazzo Reale at 3pm, the former coach visited the Castelvolturno sports center receiving a favorable impression but also in the rooms of the structure that hosts the Azzurri had the opportunity to “scare” those present. His screams were so loud that President De Laurentiis was forced to leave the room to let him vent.
Lindstrom the first purged
In recent days, Conte has seen and reviewed the images of Napoli from last, disastrous, year and has already formed some convictions. He asked for the confirmation of Di Lorenzo and Kvara (who should be renewed after the European Championships), he is hypothesizing some change of role: both the captain, if he were to remain and if at least 2-3 new high-level defenders did not arrive, which Olivera could be set as central defenders in the three-man line respectively on the right and left but also has already asked for an immediate transfer.
Lindstrom, paid 25 million to Eintracht last year, is out of the project. Twenty-two clips without leaving a trace, no goals and no assists but above all characteristics that do not go well with Conte’s aggressive football. The playmaker has been purged and will presumably be sold to France. Lyon and Marseille like him but De Laurentiis asks for an expensive loan. Mario Rui also has his bags packed as well as, as we know, Osimhen for whom he is only waiting for a suitable offer.
Conte’s demands on the market
The list of new purchases is also ready. Continue pressing on Good morning, defined as untransferable by Cairo but who Napoli believes they can get, Hermoso also likes the defense while up front Lukaku’s name is still on the radar. The news is the interest in the free agent Spinazzola.
