Capuano: Conte at Napoli is the key to success - the rest is just empty talk

Capuano told TMW: "With the arrival of Conte and the confirmation of Napoli's key players, I had a feeling that the match in Verona would be a turning point. I'm not surprised by how things have unfolded. Conte is a practical coach - while Napoli has shown flashes of good football under Spalletti in the past, Conte's approach is much more balanced. It may not always be the most aesthetically pleasing, but for Conte, winning is all that matters. Everything else is just talk."

He then continues: "When players have quality you also see the beautiful game because the play of the individual goes to capitalize on the quality of other players in the sector. Napoli has devastating players in one-on-one and they make sure that the play of the individual is emphasized. 

"I love balance, I don't love aesthetics. Football is a business where the result is above all. There is no fan who goes to the stadium and is happy because his team played well, but lost. In football there are two phases, I love balanced teams. (David) Neres? Today (Matteo) Politano plays the non-possession phase, but Neres is so strong that he will certainly find space."
