Antonio Conte he speaks bluntly during his presentation as the new coach of Napoli at Palazzo Reale. The Italian coach also stopped to talk about the situation Victor Osimhena striker who, as is known, is leaving the Italian club:
How are you managing the difficulties of the first few days with Di Lorenzo and Kvara?
“I’m not managing them, we’re managing them. Together with the club and in the best possible way. I was clear with the president: before talking about economic aspects or the contract I wanted just one reassurance. That is, that I would decide who would stay and who could have taken other paths. I was categorical and clear on this. If we talk about projects, about reconstruction, and then we give away the best ones then it is all a contradiction. I have spoken with the guys, I called them all. I wanted to make them understand my ideas and I heard what they had to say to me. In the end if there are problems they will solve them, because in the end the decision is mine. Those who are part of the project will be part of the 200 % of Napoli. There is no confusion here, there is clarity of ideas. We know what to do and we will do it. The president will say something more about this, and I want to underline it a top player that we all know for me is a good and important person in the locker room. The same goes for Kvara. Last year, frustration brought about some less than clear situations. Having said that, the players know that there can be difficulties, we are men and we need to roll up our sleeves with esteem and trust. This will have to be a year of revenge.”
And what can you say about Osimhen?
“I knew about the situations of Kvara, Di Lorenzo, Lobotka, Anguissa and all the others. I placed an absolute veto. Having said that, I know what the situation is regarding Osimhen. I know that there are agreements, that it is a situation different from all the others. I can only assist. He is a player of the highest level, exceptional, but I cannot enter into any discussion because it is part of previous agreements which have been clearly stated to me.”
