Conte Praises New Signings After Napoli Win

Napoli manager Antonio Conte praised the contributions of new signings Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku following a 2-0 victory over Hellas Verona, which solidified their lead in Serie A by four points over Inter Milan. The match featured an early goal from Giovanni Di Lorenzo, with Frank Anguissa sealing the win with a long-range shot. Conte acknowledged he is still adjusting tactics to better fit his squad, particularly after switching to a 4-3-3 formation thanks to the new players' impact. Despite the success, he expressed disappointment over forward Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's desire to leave the club, indicating that he felt he had failed to influence the situation positively. Conte emphasized that while he bears no ill will toward Kvaratskhelia, he believes a coach should guide club decisions on player management. Overall, he noted an increase in team confidence and involvement since the summer arrivals.
