Sacchi: “I like Napoli very much, what impresses me. The scudetto…”

The words of the former technical commissioner regarding Conte’s team which will challenge Inter in the championship in a week

Arrigo Sacchi x-rayed Antonio Conte’s Napoli a few hours before an important match for the Azzurri at the top of the table against Atalanta. These are his considerations to the Gazzetta dello Sport: «Do I like Napoli? Very much. I saw the match at San Siro against Milan: Napoli won it without struggling. The difference with the Rossoneri was evident. From the start, Conte’s team found holes to slip into and did so, while Milan crashed into the opposing defence. Napoli risked almost nothing, and this means that there is already a notable team organization despite Antonio only being in his first season.”

What impresses you most about Naples?

«One simple thing: the players know what they have to do on the pitch. They have knowledge because the coach passed it on to them. They move back when it is necessary to move back, they press in the offensive area when it is possible to do so, they dribble in midfield to get the opponents out. Napoli really seems like a complete team to me, and then their attitude impresses me: they would throw themselves into the fire for Antonio. In a short time he did a great job.”
