Also Bologna For Naples by Antonio Conte who didn’t create chances and lost 2 goals nil at Dall’Ara. The Azzurri team was never too dangerous during the match, as the Azzurri coach commented: «They were more energetic in every way. It’s a pity that they have more energy than us, more positive and more enthusiastic. This should make us think, yes The fifth defeat we suffered was not the first».
“There is some reflection that must be done with the children.
They played on Thursday and looked poisoned. We did our homework on a balanced game, then we broke up. We have to have a different energy than what I have seen since the beginning of the year”, said the coach.
“For me Hojlund he had no regrets today, he was the best on the pitch. It holds up well Lucumi he had a hard time holding it in. We have prepared some things and we need to support it more. “Many times he controlled the ball and changed the game, but we missed it,” he continued.

“Championship? I’m worriedour team is the team indicated as the absolute protagonist. If he loses 5 games then something is wrong. We must not forget that after the championship we finished in tenth position. This is not a teaching. It was thought that overnight the ugly duckling would turn into a swan. We did something amazing last year. This season we continue to workbut we have to ask ourselves whether we did it with the right enthusiasm and desire last year. Nine new players have arrived. We definitely don’t have the positive energy we had last year. I am worried. I don’t make an impact, that means I’m not good at doing my job… or someone doesn’t want to understand”, said the Italian coach matter-of-factly.

«Five defeats since the start of the year is too many, for a team that for other teams should kill the championship. We have to reflect on the five defeats, there is something I tried to overcome twenty days ago by trying to shift my thoughts to the elders as well. But I want to congratulate Bologna for the energy and heart they put into it. We lost everything and kudos to them. We have to take some situations seriously, trying to resolve them, if we can. Because we already faced a lot of things twenty days ago. I continue to express my opinion, homework alone is not enough in football. It takes passion, passion and heart. It’s sad to bring up skeletons from the past, but after the championship there is tenth place. We really need to reflect. “I will also talk to the club about this aspect,” said the coach.
«After four months we are still doing our homework and there is no desire to fight together like last year. I don’t know if we can change these things. It means I didn’t do a good job and I haven’t managed to win over the players. It is true that the club knows this. I don’t want to accompany the dead, we have to get back on the right track, otherwise everyone will have to take their own responsibilities. I don’t like what I see and I am the first and take my responsibilityat least while we still have time and if we want to do it. It’s been four months since I haven’t done a good job because I don’t see positive energy. We still have time if we want to change the trend. Today was the fifth defeat and I didn’t like the defeat. I didn’t have to protect the players today. When off-field dynamics take over, it becomes a bitter mess.”. he continued in the press conference.

«Last year Bologna won the Italian cup. Right now they are superior to us in every way. Off-field dynamics? I’m talking about heart, passion, enthusiasm, desire. There’s an often underrated aspect that then leads you to do what we did last year. We worked very, very hard. Now we are not a team. I take all responsibility, I control the situation. It is also difficult for me to understand whether I am capable of changing these things. Heart transplantation cannot be done. We all need to rediscover evil and righteousness. Nowadays everyone is thinking about their own backyard, I’ve seen it. I also want to discuss it properly with the club, Why he definitely always knows my thoughts. This means I’m not doing my job well. Winning a player’s heart is difficult, but it must be there. “If you don’t have heart, it becomes complicated,” concluded Conte.
