Coach Antonio Conte expressed his relative satisfaction after Napoli's 2-1 victory over Genoa in the match held at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium as part of the sixth round of the Italian league, confirming that the team is still in a development phase and that this season will be more complicated than the previous one.

Conte said: "We are on a new path for us, and this season will be the toughest because we have many commitments compared to our more prepared opponents. We are experiencing our first experience in the Champions League, which is a new situation. Last season we won the title with a limited team, but now many players have joined us, although some need time to adapt."

He added: "It was Neri's first match as a starter, and he wasn't fully in rhythm yet, Politano is suffering from slight fatigue, and his condition will be assessed by the national team's doctors. As for Lobotka, he slipped and felt pain in the groin area, and he will also undergo medical examinations."

Conte concluded his statements by saying: "Everyone who faces Napoli gives their all, as we are the reigning champions, and that is normal. In the second half, we attacked the line better and scored goals. Anguissa and Di Lorenzo performed wonderfully, but we must continue to work because the season will be long and difficult."
