Antonio Conte, harsh reaction after PSV – Napoli 6-2: “Some people throw dust in their eyes”

Antonio Conte spoke about the situation at the Italian champion. The technician is unhappy with the fact that many players have arrived who have not been able to integrate into the team. Conte also spoke about the problem of injuries.

“Every game has to be analyzed. If you just write it off as a bad night, you're setting yourself up for another one. The guys know I always speak my mind. We have to rediscover the spirit of last year that allowed us, with few players, to achieve something extraordinary. We all pushed, including me. It's not easy. It's wrong to bring nine players, but we had to do it

Bringing in nine players is not easy for the team. We must be humble, I have said this for a long time. A few people at Napoli throw dust in their eyes, but it is a club where the truth must be told all the time. Together with the management, we made some decisions, and this year will be very complex. Tonight's game should spur us on. The new players have to integrate quickly and we have to work harder,” Antonio Conte said, according to TMW.

We recovered the ball for the second goal, and after that we made two serious mistakes and they went on the counter-attack. When you score goals like we scored today it's hard to explain. They were individual errors, not team mistakes.

The season we played only in the domestic championship and we were good and lucky because we always had available players with consolidated mechanisms. This year, due to some injuries, we had to deal with a lot of new situations, trying to get injured players back into the circuit. This year, due to injuries, it is normal to lose cohesion.
