The coach and the Azure president will talk about the future, that’s when: date and demands of both unveiled.
Antonio Conte seeks assurances about the future. And how could it be otherwise, after all. Napoli’s first place in the standings, three points ahead of Inter, shows that the Apulian coach’s work to date has been extraordinary and at the very least deserves attention in the future.
Several teams have Conte in their sights and De Laurentiis, back from the Maldives, does not want to have him snatched out from under his nose. Today’s edition of Corriere dello Sport reveals the possible date of the meeting between Antonio Conte and Aurelio De Laurentiis.
Napoli, il depistaggio all’aeroporto: cosa è accaduto
“The idea going forward is to get ahead of the curve and not get to the end of the season without setting the basic criteria for future planning. On the bench and on the field.
The date? The meeting could-should-be staged just next week, or at any rate close to the game against Genoa. Shortly before or a moment after. The idea is to wait to close the away game in Lecce and then start dictating the carrier rhythms of the schedule,” the newspaper writes about the supposed date of the meeting.
Corriere dello Sport’s analysis also focuses on the demands Antonio Conte will make of the Azzurri patron, but also on De Laurentiis’ own willingness to accommodate the coach’s needs.
“Conte has a legitimate need to coach a group that is up to the task of competing at a high level in both the league and the Champions League and asks for guarantees to that effect. De Laurentiis, for his part, is ready to put on the table the treasure based on the sale of Kvara to Psg, the proceeds from the upcoming sale of Osimhen and possibly the proceeds from other (outgoing) market stories to be defined.
Napoli, Starace fra i tifosi a Capodichino
Quantomeno, i supporters lì presenti hanno avuto occasione di salutare una figura storica del club azzurro come il magazziniere Tommaso Starace. Ci ha pensato lui a consolare i tifosi scendendo a piedi fra la folla, scatenando così un po’ di entuasiasmo.
C’è da accettare, comunque, la compresibile prudenza di un gruppo che non ha ancora conquistato l’obiettivo prefissato, come ha ricordato anche Antonio Conte in conferenza stampa. La vittoria dell’Inter mantiene infatti un distacco di tre punti fra le due squadre e il Napoli sarà chiamato a fare il suo dovere nelle prossime giornate.
La prossima gara contro il Genoa al Maradona sarà una nuova occasione per far sentire nuovamente tutto il propio affetto e la propria gratitudine, ma ancora senza festeggiare. Manca davvero poco, ma il lavoro va prima concluso del tutto prima di rompere ogni freno nell’entusiasmo.
