Conte: Naples only has one day to prepare for the battle, and must face the defensive crisis as a whole

In the second round of the Champions League phase, Napoli faced Portugal Sports at home. In the case of a first-round loss, Napoli urgently needs to return to the victory track. In that game, Di Lorenzo's red card became the turning point of the game. Before this game, Napoli coach Conte expressed his views.

About formation selection

If I choose this formation, it is because this is the best choice. We only have one day to prepare for the battle and no time to make other adjustments. For me, this is the most secure lineup. We will risk Spinazzola on the court and put Oliveira on the bench. We have to deal with this defensive crisis as a team.

Regarding possible personnel adjustments

Spinazola and Oliveira were only training alone, and we will see the situation again today. If there is a need to take risks, we will take risks because we don’t have many alternatives and it’s possible that even let Elmas be the full-back.

Regarding the loss to Milan, we analyzed the game very well. We performed better against Milan than we won last season, but we weren't focused enough. In some cases, we must be more alert.

About fighting Portugal Sports

This is an important game, and the opponent is an excellent team. Portugal Sports won the Portuguese Super League championship, and they represented the top level together with Benfica and Porto. We lost the match against Manchester City in special circumstances because Di Lorenzo was sent off with a red card. Portugal Sports is not a weak team, they will do their best.

Discipline issues about locker rooms

This is not a player's problem, like De Bruyne, and those who know me know what I think about this behavior, it is my responsibility to restore the situation and strengthen the concept. You can tolerate it once, but not a second time.

Regarding the tone set for the team to participate in this game

We want to win, but we must understand that the opponent is equally strong and full of fighting spirit, and we must give our all on the court.
