Giancarlo Padovan spoke to News.Superscommesse.it about Antonio Conte’s new Napoli: “Conte can guarantee 20 more points to a team without cups. Obviously provided that he has updated his game and that he doesn’t fall in love with the players, as he could happen with Lukaku. I heard Buffon say that with Conte if things go badly you get to the Champions League and I agree. Conte likes the Napoli squad, and he is also a coach who knows how to settle for good teams, just like his first Juve E this Napoli is, except in defense where I imagine that Manna, who is a capable director, will make important adjustments.
Not playing in Europe will cost a lot on an economic level, but it can allow Napoli to fight for the scudetto. If today I don’t see a top four Juventus, because Motta will be given a period of two or three years to win, I imagine that Napoli could be Inter’s first opponent, who could still dominate. After all, we saw it with Juve last year. Without cups, she managed to stay connected to Inter until January, before losing herself after the direct clash. And this Napoli is already superior to Juve…
