De Laurentiis at his side. Indeed, a step back. With you he took center stage on the stage of the Teatro di Corte of Palazzo Reale and not only metaphorically. He explained in an hour how he will set up Napoli, from the 3 or 4 defense to the rules he will impose in the locker room, where there can be no discontent: “If they are unhappy, they sit next to me and then we’ll see.” On the bench, until they understand. Napoli will be built and managed by him.
Manager, not just coach. De Laurentiis is on the left of a proud southern man who returned to the South 33 years after leaving Lecce to move to Juve. The president nods and speaks very little compared to his habits, happy with the great coup he has made on the technician market: he has brought a top guy here.
Who knows what his thoughts must have been when Conte referred to the mistakes made in the management after the championship and to the market in which there must be not too many choices but well-chosen ones, in line with respecting the budget. He stimulates the audience, Antonio, when he says that Napoli must be a destination and not a passing team. Forty seconds of applause in the audience where the city that counts is, starting with the governor DeLuca and the mayor Manfredi.
De Laurentiis has chosen a high profile coach, or rather a manager, to bring Napoli back to the top. T-shirts with Conte’s image and the slogan “Amma fatigue ‘”, with his signature at the bottom, were distributed in the room. But he, speaking of dialect phrases, doesn’t want to ignore the past. «He must hurt us». Like the 41 points gap from Inter. A setback for Napoli, or rather “for us” as Conte says, who has already identified himself in this context, sharing Napoli’s desire to become great again. “I’m not here to be a nativity scene figure.”
With all due respect to the teacher Marco Ferrigno which his shepherd gave him, entrusted by Antonio to his dear friend Giulio Pazzanese during a press conference that warmed the hearts of Neapolitans. Very clear words, without those tortuous turns Spalletti. The fans and De Laurentiis know they can trust this man who arrives in Naples to repeat the Chelsea experience. Eight years ago the Blues had reached tenth place – the same as Napoli in the last championship – before he arrived and guided them to conquer the Premier League.
Conte never hides. He asks for time and patience but he is the first to not want to wait for the redemption of a team, or rather of a city. He understood perfectly, following the professor’s input Guido Trombetti, the city’s progress on an economic, cultural and tourist level and aspires for the team to maintain that pace. “I can’t wait to start the battle.”
Slogan? No, the statement of a work program, in which everyone must feel involved, from De Laurentiis to the warehouse workers and gardeners. Everything can be summed up in four words: “Do and don’t say”. With the pride of someone who has conquered everything, even the stage of Palazzo Reale, with his own sacrifices and this he will try to pass on to his kids every day as he does with his daughter Vittoria, sitting in the front row with mother Elisabetta. Do and don’t say. The message the fans wanted to hear after a painful championship, with Napoli kicked out of the European cups after 14 years.
We turn the page but without being able to believe that the last season was a coincidence. Antonio is right: there have been serious management errors, from the market to internal relations, and they should not be repeated. “The decisions will be mine, here there is clarity and not confusion.” It is clear that they will stay By Lorenzo And Kvara and that instead for Osimhen we will look for the club that pays 120 million.
It’s clear that Meret he will be the goalkeeper and it is clear that the coach will try to encourage those who have had less space and have disappointed, as Lindstrom, the winger paid 25 million and evoked in the Court Theater. Commander Antonio, who will lead Napoli with the example of his commitment, leaves no one behind or out in this adventure which he wants to last more than three years. Even if he wants to win immediately.
