Conte says strongest should win ahead of match against Milan

Napoli head coach Antonio Conte participated in a press conference ahead of the Italian Super Cup semifinal against Milan. The match will take place on December 18 in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, and is scheduled to start at 22:00 Moscow time.

Conte emphasized that playing against teams like Milan carries special responsibility. According to him, this is a great club with rich traditions, featuring strong players and coaches in its squad.

“When facing such an opponent, a desire arises to test yourself and see how far we can go. The trophy at stake should serve as a strong emotional motivation for all of us.

We need to enjoy both this occasion and the game,” Conte stated. His remarks were reported by Sky Sport Italy.

The coach also underlined the importance of Romelu Lukaku’s return to the squad. “He is a charismatic player with exceptional individual qualities and is very important for the team.

We need to exercise patience, conduct physical tests, and determine when it will be safe for him to return to the pitch to reduce the risk of injury,” Conte added. “All of us want to perform well and give our best, and we hope to stay here until Monday.

Let the strongest team win,” he said. In the other Italian Super Cup semifinal, Bologna and Inter will face each other on December 19.
