Capello backs Conte’s action
Fabio Capello has discussed his opinions on Napoli’s clash with Juventus, concentrating on Conte’s tactical move during the game.
)
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Capello said, “Motta removed Vlahovic at halftime, giving the impression of missing the type of striker that made his Bologna great. Dusan is not Zirkzee; he’s a penalty box striker, not an exceptional playmaker.
“Conte courageously substituted his entire front three, including Lukaku and Kvaratskhelia, with less than 20 minutes to go.
)
“I believe Antonio was right; if the three up front aren’t giving you much and struggling to work for the team, it’s right to change something.
“The match at the Stadium confirmed once again how Lukaku tends to disappear when facing a high-level defense. Yesterday, Bremer and his teammates sent him off his game too easily.”
)
Napoli attempted to win the first half with McTominay in midfield and a four-man defence, but Capello observed that after the break, Napoli adopted a more cautious approach.
Napoli will now face Palermo in the Coppa Italia, before welcoming Monza to the Maradona Stadium at the weekend.
