Extremely disappointed after Napoli’s disappointment this Sunday evening against Verona, Antonio Conte did not mince his words in a press conference. The Neapolitans lost (3-0) on the pitch of Hellas Verona for their first match in Serie A under the mandate of the fiery Italian coach, who could not hide his disappointment after the match. “We must humbly apologize to the Neapolitan people who follow us with passion. I am the coach and it is normal that I take full responsibility. In the second half, the performance was unacceptable. It is a shame, and I, who am the coach, must be ashamed. Those who know me know that my heart is bleeding today.”said the former Juventus coach, with great sobriety.
Extremely annoyed with his team, the 55-year-old coach judged the performance of his players “unacceptable”while assuming responsibility for this defeat. Conte did not, however, seek to find excuses and did not want to hide behind the so far failed transfer window of the Neapolitan club, partly because of the Osimhen case which is currently blocking the Partenopei’s finances. Good news could nevertheless arrive soon for Antonio Conte because Naples would be on the verge of recruiting David Neres, one of the priorities requested by the Italian.
