Conte: “In order to succeed you need athletic craft, go to battle without worries”

THE Antonio Conte He is considered one of the best and successful coaches in the Italian championship and has proved it once again and the season he spent, winning the championship with Napoli.

The experienced technician is also known for his outbursts in the games and in an interview, he explained that he was A … mask he wears.

In addition, he clarified rumors that prevailed a while ago that he was closed with Juventus And he will leave the Partenopes.

For the image of the explosive:

“I deliberately created this image, as if I was” wearing a mask “in such cases. It all started in a Juventus match, where we were 2-0, but I realized that something was not going well. In the half time, I went to the locker room, threw a plastic bottle on the blackboard and started shouting. Many found me crazy, but the result could be changed negatively if we did not continue to play with the same “thirst” and concentration. You have to feel when such risks come and know how to prevent them. “

On the secret to Napoli’s success and the example of Carlos Teves:

“The kids were always at my disposal. They followed me from day one and eventually managed to assimilate the concept of effort and self -sacrifice. Of course, at first this group was missing what I call a “knife in the sock”. You need athletic craft, that is, to go to the “battle” without worries. Eventually, they understood it, otherwise we wouldn’t win the championship. I’ll give you an example. When Teves came to Juventus, we all knew he was an excellent champion, but he also had the reputation of the uncontrolled. He had difficulty adapting, but at some point he became first and so he was an example to imitate. You have to find the “key” for everyone. Sometimes this causes me headaches, but all is well. After all, I focus on the human side and the ultimate goal. “

For the race he realized that Napoli can become a champion:

“For the match against Inter (1-1) in the spring, in which we even stayed back in the score and we were in danger of losing. Then I said for the first time publicly: “If we want, we can.” This was the message for my children. I believed in achieving this goal, so they had to do it too. Of course, there is always the unpredictable in football. Our tie with Genoa threatened to cost us the scudet. Their central defender cut a pass in their own half and the ball began to move on our stadium. Eventually, he reached the left back, who made the cross despite my voices to Matteo Politanos to stop him, and Johann Vasquez managed to score, even though he was among our three players. “

For rumors of Juventus and his stay in Napoli:

“I had no contact with anyone, because anyone who tried to contact me through intermediaries, I always replied that I would first talk to the club after the end of the season, as I always did. Only if the meeting did not satisfy both sides, would I open in another perspective, as my contract with Napoli still has two years. Did my wife influence my decision? My family acts as a driver, some decisions I only make. My wife and daughter are very happy in Napoli and this is a fact. But I am the one who has to train a team every day, so they have nothing to do with it. Aurelio de Laurentis? During our meeting we clarified things, our discussion was of fundamental importance. He understood the mistakes made and the situations that need to be improved. I have an active contract, but the clarification was important. The rest are rumors that hurt, because they ignored my essence. “
