Napoli also wins against Juventus and the announcement comes that can only make Conte happy: the coach can rejoice.
At home Napoli does not seem to be familiar with the word obstacles. Antonio Conte’s team, after overcoming Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta, also beat Thiago Motta’s Juventus, showing off a second half of a superior level. The watchword is grit, with the blue team being the perfect image of its coach.
So many players who in this first part of the season have come into the limelight thanks to the work of the Lecce coach: from Politano to McTominay passing by Di Lorenzo. The player who has grown the most over these months, however, is only one: Frank Zambo Anguissa.
Napoli, Sacchi esalta Conte e il lavoro su Anguissa: “Era dappertutto”
Napoli continues to fly. Even against Juventus, the Azzurri team showed that it has reached an already very high level, showcasing everything Antonio Conte has been working on in recent months. Singing the praises of this team and the Lecce coach was Arrigo Sacchi in the pages of the Gazzetta dello Sport:
Of this Naples I admire the total dedication to the cause of the players: they fight, they run, they never give up an inch of the field, and then they have technical gifts that can put any opponent in crisis.

Most surprising to the former coach was Conte’s work on one player in particular: Frank Zambo Anguissa. Indeed, the Cameroonian midfielder is the mirror on the field of his coach, never more dominant and performing than this year:
Did you see the game Anguissa played? He was all over the place, in midfield when the ball had to be recovered, then immediately ready to lead the transition and insert himself in attack for the final shot or header, as happened on the occasion of the equalizer. A player whom Conte has completely recovered, and credit for that, after a rather gray period. This means that the coach has got into the heads of his boys, convinced them of the importance of work, and now he is being repaid with applauding performances.

This year’s can be considered the consecration season for Anguissa. His impact in the middle of the field is every game impressive and together with McTominay and Lobotka he forms one of the most complete wards on the European scene.

Numerically speaking, Anguissa has never been more present: 5 goals and 4 assists in this first part of the season. But what jumps out most, besides these figures, is the importance that the Cameroonian midfielder has in the Azzurri chessboard. Always at the center of the game in both phases and great ability to drag the team in moments of difficulty. One word: leader.
