The Inter coach replied to his rival, who had said: «Napoli are not ready to command». And president Marotta also has his say: «The Azzurri are clear favorites for the scudetto»
Another lap, another race. Cristian Chivu does not respond to teasing from Antonio Conte but in some ways he argues in an even more provocative way after the victory over Atalanta: «Conte’s words? I already said I don’t care what he says. Then if you want to make a mess, I won’t do it. I want to convey values because you can play football even without mixing it with other things that leave an odor… Whoever wants to make a mess, go ahead.”
In the afternoon, Conte said that Napoli are not yet ready to command: «For many reasons. It is a journey that has just begun, at a structural level we are not ready. Today for mand Juventus, Milan and Inter, in terms of structure, second teams, salary and asset value, are different from the others. Every time a team other than these three wins, they have done something extraordinary. We try to bridge this difference on the field, but they are different teams.”
The Nerazzurri president had replied to Conte before Atalanta-Inter (and before Chivu). Marottamore accustomed than his coach to verbal battles: «I don’t want to get into controversy. Conte is a good coach and a good communicator. He knows how to distract attention. The favorite is clearly Napoli.”
The truth, at least in part, will be known soon: after Maradona’s 3-1 in favor of Conte’s team, Inter-Napoli is already on the first return leg, on 11 January. And Inter, who haven’t won in 13 games against Napoli, Milan and Juve, have the opportunity to really respond. On the field.
