After the victory against Venezia the coach explains: “There are those who are happier, those who are more dissatisfied, those who make mistakes in terms of attitude and make mistakes because they can be distracted. My goal and that of the club is first of all not to weaken ourselves, at most we remain what we are without doing damage.” Then he reveals the new role he is sewing for Raspadori.
Giacomo “Jack” Raspadori it’s the classic joker that changes hands and breaks the bank. It was he who decided, as a substitute, the match against Venezia which seemed like an absolute joke. It was he who held the Napoli still up there, at the top of the table next to Atalanta (waiting for Inter’s recovery with Viola). Post and penalty missed by Lukakuprovidential parades of Stankovic25 shots on goal (he will reveal Antonio Conte in conference) but without ever finding the goal. The former Sassuolo man took care of chasing away bad thoughts, including (perhaps) those of the transfer market who would like him on the table of pawns to be sacrificed to bring some other player to the national team. He’s not the only one, insistent voices also whisper the name of Simeone up front or Juan Jesus in defence.
The Neapolitan coach mutes all this buzz but does not limit himself to saying what his opinion is on the negotiations of the winter session, between the lines we can also read a very clear message addressed to the club. “January is a month that makes things a little complicated for us coaches – Conte’s words in the press conference -. The market in that period we should abolish it because there are those who are happier, who is more dissatisfied, those who make mistakes in terms of attitude and make mistakes because they can be distracted. This group of 24 players brought us to 41 points, everyone must feel involved and involved. My goal and that of the club is first and foremost not to weaken ourselves, at most we remain who we are without doing damage“.
Roger, received. The balance that Napoli has achieved by working hard and following the coach’s instructions must be preserved, it is essential. This is why, if you really need to move and close operations in the next few weeks, it must be really worth it to avoid running the risk of hurting yourself. “The team is clearly improving from all points of view, no one could have imagined that after 18 games we would find ourselves with 41 points. If we have to do something they must be purchases that improve and not worsen in terms of numbers and quality. We need to think about the good of Napoli and not about the individual – added the Salento coach -. Once the month of January is over we will all be happy.”
Gasperini warns Atalanta and its rivals: “In January we must do on the market what we didn’t finish in August”
The transfer market issue falls flat on Sunday in which one of the players who ended up at the back and in danger of being sold is the one to untangle the problem. In this regard, Conte reiterates a concept already expressed in recent weeks: Napoli must be strengthened and not weakened, he believes Raspadori is one of those who need to be protected in some way (if you really can’t land the shot that changes your life). And he also explains why, talking about the role he is sewing for him: “We are inventing Raspadori as a choice. With Jack we are working on a midfield interior discussioneven if he has different qualities than other midfielders like Lobotka, Anguissa or Gilmour. He adds quality in blocked matches like the one against Venezia. He’s a guy involved in the project. He has qualities as an attacking midfielder who can bring us goals and can represent an important option.”
