In the 11th round of Serie A, Naples lost 0-2 to Bologna and had three consecutive zero-blocks in all competitions! After the game, Naples coach Conte attended a brief press conference.

How do you view Naples’ current difficult period? What is the team missing?

Conte: "I am definitely worried, because for a team that has high expectations and thinks it should easily dominate the league, five defeats since the beginning of the season are too many. We must realize that defeats are not accidental: some problems are recurring. I try to convey my thoughts to the veterans. But I must praise the energy and passion shown by Bologna And Pinjin: We have to look at certain situations and solve them as much as possible. In the world of football, it is not enough to deal with errands: what is needed is passion, enthusiasm and determination. This is what Bologna showed on the field, and I do not want to relive the past, such as the shadow of falling to tenth place in the league after winning the championship for the third time. The club is discussing this issue because I am noticing some disturbing signs. Four months have passed and we are just doing errands, lacking the chemistry and positive atmosphere of the team to work together and overcome difficulties. This is one of the technical and tactical aspects, but it also shows that my work is not in place and I have not really touched the players. If we are eager to get back on track and reverse the situation, that's good; otherwise everyone must bear the responsibility, and I will bear the brunt. I don't want to make excuses, let alone protect myself: I am the first person responsible, but I am not sure if I have the conditions to turn the situation around, because the key is to change the mentality of the players."

Can Bologna aim to be at the top of the table?

Conte: "I once again praise the fighting spirit and energy shown by Bologna. The atmosphere created by their players, coaches and fans in the stadium is unparalleled, and I take my hat off to Idalino. The other side is superior in all aspects, especially the fighting spirit that I particularly value."

What are the non-competitive factors you mentioned?

Conte: "I'm talking about determination, desire and hunger. These qualities can lead to extraordinary achievements, as we did last year. At the moment we are struggling, the team lacks cohesion, and I am ashamed that it is still the case after four months. I am willing to take full responsibility, but I am not optimistic that we can change the status quo. This is not possible. Technical and tactical problems during on-field training: I am looking forward to regaining the commitment and enthusiasm of the past. This team that should be the protagonist of the league is now facing this problem, and now it is back to square one. "
