Conte Confident in Napoli Squad, Provides Team Updates

Napoli head coach Antonio Conte expressed strong faith in his players ahead of their upcoming Serie A match against Genoa. In a pre-match press conference, Conte addressed several key points regarding his squad:

Defensive Replacement and Attacking Boost

Conte confirmed that experienced defender Juan Jesus will step in to replace the injured Alessandro Buongiorno at center-back. He praised Jesus’s reliability and experience, stating “He has my full trust.”

In positive news, Conte revealed that star winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has resumed training and will be available for selection against Genoa. “He’s an important player to have back,” Conte noted.

Faith in Current Squad

When asked about potential January transfers, Conte emphasized his confidence in the existing squad: “I have maximum trust in these players. I could go to war with them – sporting war, of course. They are real men who continue to grow.”

He added that while he may discuss needs with management if necessary, his focus remains on developing the current group of players who have contributed to Napoli’s strong 35-point tally so far this season.

Conte’s comments reflect his commitment to building team chemistry and maximizing the potential of Napoli’s roster as they aim to maintain their position near the top of the Serie A table.
