Napoli striker Giovanni Simeone has expressed high praise for his team's manager Conte in an interview with CRC Radio, saying his passion and enthusiasm for soccer reminds him of his father, current Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone.
Simeone Jr. said that coach Conte has only Napoli in his heart and that his strong feelings for soccer remind him of his father. He believes that Conte is a very strong coach, able to see everything and perceive what others do not see, thanks to his experience, experience and deep affection for soccer. Under Conte's guidance, the players were able to quickly understand when to attack and when to defend, a clear tactical guidance that Simeone Jr. deeply admired.
Meanwhile, Simeone Jr. also revealed how difficult it was to work with Conte. He said that at first it was very difficult to work with Coach Conte, especially during the pre-season training and preparation, and needed to work hard all day long to accomplish what the coach asked. But once you understand the coach's mind, your body quickly adapts to the work he asks you to accomplish. Simeone Jr. believes that maintaining the same mentality as Conte is the key to success.
In addition, Simeone Jr. praised Conte's versatile tactical play. He said that the coach always tries to change the style of play according to the players' abilities, so the team is very strong and will not have only one tactical play. This varied tactical play creates difficulties for the opponents and keeps the players motivated to find the right solutions according to the coach's arrangements and the different opponents. Simeone Jr. believes that this change is good for the players because they can understand all the ideas of the coach.
