Meeting HighlightsNapoli
What kind of Napoli do I expect after Mazarri's arrival? They are always a very strong team, a team that dominated the championship last year, so I expect the best from Napoli. But we are also in a good position in the points rankings, it has always been a reference match for us, we will definitely take the measure tomorrow, it is a match in which we all need to do good things, our aim is always to do our best. We are on the 13th day of the championship, all elements can happen in a match that lasts 90 minutes, we must know how to assert ourselves but also know how to humble ourselves.
Injury Status
Palomino and Toloi are still gone. Ruggeri recovered quite well. We will evaluate Koopmeiners tomorrow. He has a physical problem. Adopo can play, even if he does not have the qualities of De Roon (suspended), he is undoubtedly a different player.
De Ketelaere
He's a growing player. He has made a good recovery physically, and he certainly seems to be improving in terms of his condition. He is now moving on after a less than positive season. The lights are always so bright on him, he is a player who has qualities and just needs to show them.
Scamacca
The argument for De Ketelaere is somewhat valid, both coming from less-than-positive seasons. It's not like scoring 3 goals one season and then 40 the next: I see some very good things. Continuity and all the other components you highlighted are things we want to improve. They need continuity, competitiveness, participation. If there were ready players, they would not come to Atalanta.

Antonio Conte
Manager on NapoliAbout the Team
It's the strongest team I've ever coached, the most competitive team in the world, and I have a group that I enjoy coaching. I'm excited, I say this with all my sincerity. It was great fun to see Spalletti coach this team and now I'm happy to be able to do it. I will be coaching this team and I thank the President for the fantastic opportunity.
Osimhen
Osimhen is a generous kid, he gives everything for his team and teammates. He also has an extraordinary ability to score goals. I've been holding him close for a few days now, we're getting to know each other. We will have to wait a little longer for technical details. Because he had an injury and had just started training.
System Preference
I will try to ensure that the team plays in the module in which they expressed themselves best last year. Then, over time, I will try to make the solutions I think are best. I am an eclectic coach who has fielded more than one module throughout his career.
First Feelings
I'm so excited to be here, I get chills and you know how close I am to the people of Naples. I have very fond memories and I believe that the magnificent rise of De Laurentiis' Napoli began from my years. first step and I take some credit for that. I know this stadium and I know what it feels like to feel the love of these fans. One of the first goals is to bring the team back to winning under Maradona. But now my mind is on tomorrow's match. Atalanta is a very complex opponent to face.
