Conte: Bringing in 9 players at once is too many, Napoli was forced to buy so many players because of the Champions League

October 22nd After Naples’ 2-6 away defeat to Eindhoven, coach Conte accepted an interview with Italian Sky.

He said: "It is disappointing, but when this happens, it is never accidental. We have to work hard to reverse this trend, which makes me a little dissatisfied."

"We won a very good league championship last season, and everyone exceeded their limits and showed great team cohesion. This year, because of the European war, we have to introduce a lot of new players. In my opinion, 9 new players are too many. It is not easy to bring 9 new faces into the locker room, but we are forced to do so. "I have always said that this year will be difficult, the level of the Champions League is so high, we still have a lot of work to do, and I am not mentioning this now to make excuses, but because I think this season will be difficult. Difficult. We're trying to recreate the chemistry we had last year, but there are new faces this year and it will take time to find the right fit. "

"We made signings, but we were forced. Our lineup last season was very weak, but we did a good job and won the league championship. Now it takes time and patience, and each of us has to put in the work, and I am no exception. Players usually take responsibility last but I will take responsibility. If I said from the beginning of the preparations that this year would be difficult, it was not to make excuses in advance. I know my name is often misinterpreted, but I try to stay honest and use work as my best weapon. We have to rediscover the chemistry we had last year, and I know it won't be easy, and it will take time for new players on the court and in the locker room. "

Will this defeat bring about tactical changes for the following Saturday's game?

"Everyone has praised the choice of four midfielders. A good coach is able to put the best players on the field and find the right chemical reaction. So far, we have found this balance, but there will always be someone who needs to replace other players. We have found the best balance. I don't think now is the time to sacrifice midfielders."

I saw you tonight, and you seemed a little helpless, and you didn't seem to convey joy.

"I have never conveyed joy, at most anger. The first half was good, I always try to help my players, today's loss should be my fault, because we lost 2-6."
