Naples: “The match with Qarabag will be completely different,” stated Antonio Conte, the head coach of the Italian team Napoli, during a press conference organized ahead of their home match against Qarabag in the 5th round of the main stage of the UEFA Champions League.

According to Azeri-Press News Agency, Conte labeled Qarabag as the surprise team of the UEFA Champions League. He noted, “Qarabag is one of the most interesting and unexpected teams of the tournament. They have won points in matches with clubs such as Benfica and Chelsea. This indicates the strength of the opponent. The team has well-coordinated, high-quality legionnaires and tactically disciplined football players. Playing against such a team requires great energy, maximum attention, and discipline from us.”

Antonio Conte also reflected on Napoli’s recent victory over Atalanta in the last round of Serie A, emphasizing that the focus has shifted entirely to the match against Qarabag. He explained, “Winning against Atalanta had a positive effect on us both physically and psychologically. But this game is already in the past. The match with Qarabag will be completely different. We are taking this match seriously. We know very well that there are no easy games in the UEFA Champions League.”

It should be noted that the match between Napoli and Qarabag, scheduled for tomorrow at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, will commence at 00:00 Baku time.
