Conte: I hope De Bruyne is disappointed in losing, if he had anything else, he would have found the wrong person

Hupu September 29th Napoli head coach Antonio Conte attended the post-match press conference of losing 1-2 to AC Milan.

D Bruyne was disappointed? Why is he disappointed?

"What I don't like is the situation where we conceded twice. As a team, we could have done better.

Then came to San Siro Stadium, against Milan, playing a game where we wanted to get the ball back and create opportunities, obviously not everyone did it, but Napoli needs to do it, that's what we need.

The de Bruyne you asked? I hope he was disappointed with the result because if he was disappointed with something else, he found the wrong person."

How did Gutierrez perform?

"It's normal for him to be a little shy; he hasn't played for a long time. Mariananucci also made his debut.

Then you build experience through game and progress, even in a game like this tonight. New players will definitely help us because there are a lot of games.

And today we have to deal with some defensive issues. I'm happy for Mariananucci and Gutierrez: we have two more players in our rotation."

Doesn't that make any sense?

"You know, the goal issue...we scored more goals than last year. However, on the defensive side, we conceded five goals and we need to improve on that."
