Antonio Conte after 2-1 with Juventus: proud of Napoli for playing in a difficult moment. Napoli head coach Antonio Conte praised the team for their 2-1 victory over Juventus in the 14th round of Serie A.
The players deserve all kinds of compliments, we can only thank them. Indeed, in this extremely difficult moment, when there are so few available players, we are doing incredible things.
Everyone who plays shows character and a sense of responsibility. These guys have improved a lot in this regard, and I am proud of this, because they felt what we were doing, understood the difficulty of the moment and showed outstanding results.
Scott [McTominay] and the others are doing something extraordinary by taking charge and continuing to work. I think that Elif Elmaz, making his first start in Serie A in midfield, was simply magnificent, because before that he had only played in the Italian Cup, and then only as a number 10.
Fortunately, Lobotka only has a minor problem, so we think he will need 10-15 days to recover, it could have been worse. I rested him in the match against Cagliari to avoid problems, and then he felt pain in the warm-up. Despite the difficulties, we find solutions and I want to give credit to my staff and the players. One can feel the right attitude, unity and desire to stick together at this difficult moment. We must find the right path and stick to it. I can only say thank you, thank you and thank you again to these guys.
Every game has its own phases, and if we can press high, then we must do so in order not to sit back in defense and not lose our footing. I believe that defending by applying pressure ultimately avoids risks as Juventus only had two shots on target today. We had great energy and tactical clarity, but also some impressive combinations that we prepared in training.
We played Atalanta, Roma and Juventus, very strong opponents, in a critical situation and won all the matches. I`m still amazed at the enthusiasm and energy the guys put into the game.
Now we need to rest, because there are two days ahead, and then we play in Portugal against Benfica in the Champions League. We have to try to prepare as best as possible for the match because these guys need physical rest to recover, ” Conte told DAZN Italia.
