Conte vs Lecce

Antonio Conte engaged in a brief conversation with Lecce's 19-year-old talent Patrick Dorgu after Napoli's 1-0 victory over Lecce, raising speculation about potential transfer interest from Premier League clubs Chelsea and Tottenham. Napoli has been monitoring Dorgu, who recently signed a long-term contract with Lecce, making a future transfer more complicated and costly. Despite the win, Conte expressed the need to calm his players during the match due to rising anxiety, as they struggled to break Lecce's organized defense. He acknowledged Lecce's quality and emphasized the importance of patience in creating scoring opportunities. Conte's emotional connection to Lecce, where he began his career, adds personal significance to the upcoming matches, but he insists on maintaining professionalism as Napoli leads the Serie A standings.
