JAKARTA - A bad start for Napoli in the Italian Serie A competition. Appearing in the away match against Verona, Sunday, August 18, 2024 evening WIB, Napoli were eliminated with a landslide score of 3-0. Coach Antonio Conte claimed responsibility for Napoli's embarrassing defeat.
Napoli surprisingly started the competition with bad results. The 2023 Serie A champion was forced to give up by Verona and conceded three goals in the match at the Marcantono Bentegodi Stadium.
Conte also failed to make an impressive debut with I Partenopei. Although he had given resistance for the first 45 minutes, Napoli did not move at all in the second half. Especially after the team lost mainstay player Khvicha Kvaratskhelia before the end of the first half.
Even Conte called his team so soft and like'saljuk yang langsung melulkan setelah terkena matahari'. Mereka gagal mencegahkan permainan menyerang Verona yang tak berhenti menciptakan peluang dan kemudian menonversi menjadi gol.
"We let Verona take control of the game once the second half started. This is what left us in a behind position," Conte was quoted as saying by Football Italia.
Verona did look different in the second half. The game has only been running for five minutes, the hosts have taken the lead through Dailon Livramento. Napoli tried to get up to catch up. Instead of scoring goals, Napoli instead conceded again through Daniel Mosquera's brace.
"We are like melted snow due to the sun. I have to say that we have to apologize to the fans. Those who always support us with enthusiasm and passion. I am the most responsible coach," Conte said.
"The team's performance shows that we still have to work hard to make improvements in every aspect. I came to Napoi with great enthusiasm and enthusiasm. If I could help Napoli, I would definitely do it," he said.

Conte, further said, if the club needed new players to complete the squad. Even the team needs at least three or four players. "The club wants to recruit two, three or even four players. It's just that it's not an easy matter to get it," Conte said.
After losing to Verona, Napoli will play a home match against Bologna, Monday, August 26, 2024 in the morning WIB.
