Antonio Conte is, from this point of view, the anti Luis Enrique. The Naples coach, unlike his Parisian counterpart at press conferences with almost soporific effects, has real freedom of public speech. This Saturday, at the beginning of the afternoon, it did not take long for the former midfielder (55 years old) to give a clear speech in an eminently symbolic matter: that of his star striker Khvitcha Kvaratskhelia (23 years old, under contract until 2027).
“We are talking about an important player, last summer I spoke to the president about it and I wanted to have technical certainty by asking for confirmation of certain important players. Although he and others asked to be transferred, I worked and managed to keep those I wanted.s, first explained the Italian technician, before clearly revealing the player’s current desires. He asked the club to transfer him. I spoke with the player who confirmed this decision. I’m disappointed (…) I don’t want him to think tomorrow, if he stays, that I’ve chained him here. I did it last summer, thinking I could convince him of the merits of the project, but I didn’t succeed. We are losing an important player.”
