Napoli head coach Antonio Conte has stated that a victory over Qarabag in the Champions League would be the best way to honor Diego Maradona on the anniversary of his death.
Idman.Biz reports that Conte made the comments during a pre-match press conference in Naples. He noted that the team will approach the game with the right energy following their 3-1 Serie A win against Atalanta.
According to Conte, the Azerbaijani side has been one of the surprises of the current Champions League campaign, meaning Napoli will need maximum concentration. He highlighted Qarabag’s fast style of play, well-integrated foreign players, and high intensity, which Napoli must withstand from the first minute.
“We approach the match with the right energy and want to perform at a high level. Tomorrow is the anniversary of Diego Maradona’s death, and it would be wonderful to dedicate a victory to him,” Conte said.
The Napoli – Qarabag match will take place on November 25 in Naples, kicking off at 23:59 Baku time.
