Antonio Conte doesn’t trust Torino
Antonio Conte doesn’t trust Torino
Antonio Conte introduced Torino-Napoli, scheduled for Sunday at 3 p.m., at a press conference. “We have to be realistic and know that we are only in the 13th day and within a few points there are 6 teams. It’s a balanced league so far, in my opinion I don't think it will remain so until the end. Already at the end of the first round it will start to get a bit longer, but we are pleased, it shows that the work we are doing è good and I am happy, day by day we are laying important foundations and I see a continuous growth as a team but also as individuals. The squad è has grown a lot as a level of individuals compared to Dimaro, credit must be given to the boys who have the desire to improve”.
On Vanoli: “Paolo è a serious guy, a great worker, I had the pleasure of knowing him on a working level when I was at the national team, he was coaching an Under, when there’è was the opportunity; I brought him with me. He worked on my staff, a curious, decent guy, I was è sorry when he decided to break away to take a different path, but at the same time I was proud that I could give something to him and he gave something to me in those years”.
The granata are in difficultyà: “I saw the patitis, I analyzed them. They started very well, then they had the injury of Zapata who was on important levels, but è a solid group, has good quality;, è in the middle of the standings quietly and without a win for a long time, so there are values. It can è happen, I live in Turin, last year almost every Sunday I had the pleasure of going to see the game and è an environment that I know, nice warm, strong, attached to history, we will have to be very careful, è a game to be approached in the right best, with respect for the qualityà of the opponent and the environment that we will find and their history”.
Last year Torino-Napoli ended up; 3-0: “I remember the game well, it was a bit of a peculiar match, but it's useless to look at the past, what counts is the present, having reset a bit’ everything with the boys. I know soccer very well, there are times when there’s negativity no matter what, you get a shot and it ends up under the cross, an episode, everything goes wrong for you, you get into a period of negativity and you have to be good to get out of it. If we really want to … there’è the example of a team like City that comes from 4 defeats and a draw, there are those negative moments, but you have to restart some times you è be good, others you get into a spiral. We started with the draw with Modena, the defeat in Verona 3-0, we too understood that we needed to reset without looking back where we find beautiful things two years ago and very ugly last year, we think about the present and it is important to have found a group that gives me satisfaction in coming to Castel Volturno but it must be just the base”.

Ferrari, appointment with history in Abu Dhabi: Charles Leclerc flanked by brother Arthur
Arthur Leclerc will drive Ferrari in FP1
The last weekend of the season, that of the Abu Dhabi GP, has yet to begin but Ferrari has already budgeted to establish a new historical record: the Scuderia di Maranello will in fact be the first ever for which two brothers will run in the same session, since in FP1 Charles Leclerc will be joined by his brother Arthur.
Born on Oct. 14, 2000, in Monte Carlo, Arthur Leclerc will therefore contest the first free practice session at the Yas Marina circuit, thus enabling the Cavallino to fulfill its obligation to grant two seasonal sessions to a rookie driver. It will be Carlos Sainz who will grant him his steering wheel, since Leclerc had left it in Mexico to Ollie Bearman.
The latter, having raced three Grands Prix this season (one with Ferrari and two with Haas) is no longer è considered rookie: for this reason Ferrari had to choose another rookie driver, deciding to give space to Charles Leclerc’s younger brother.
Arthur Leclerc thus returns to the wheel of an open-wheel car: after leaving Formula 2 at the end of the 2023 season, this year he has in fact competed in the European Le Mans Series, also winning a race at Imola, and in the Italian GT Championship, winning the final classification of the Endurance class together with crewmates Giancarlo Fisichella and Tommaso Mosca.

Lazio, Marco Baroni provides clarity on the condition of Nuno Tavares and Boulaye Dia
Marco Baroni and Lazio struggling with injuries
On the eve of the Italian Cup round of 16 match between his Lazio and Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico, which among other things precedes the league match between the same two teams scheduled for Sunday at reversed pitches, Marco Baroni explained how his team arrives and, in particular, shed light on two important players for the biancoceleste tactical chessboard, Nuno Tavares and Boulaye Dia.
“Tavares for this match is not there’è – said, without hiding too much, Baroni in the press conference -. I don't throw in the towel for the next one, we have to see if the injury that kept him out in the last few games è been overcome. Dia I don't think he will be able to be there on Thursday, but even for him there’s hope for Sunday”.
He could find space again, for the first time since last October 27, Gaetano Castrovilli, a footballer who, unfortunately for him, still had to deal with physical problems: “He told me that if he feels up to it, tomorrow I could give him a few minutes” said Baroni speaking just about the former Fiorentina player.
The winner of the challenge between Lazio and Napoli will face, in the quarterfinals, the winner of Inter-Udinese, scheduled for Dec. 19: the two contenders will face each other on a date chosen in the period from Feb. 5 to Feb. 26, which will be made official according to the conditions set by the calendars in those weeks.

“I would like, però to thank Nanni,” he added, “for what he has done in the last two years at the helm of the women’s national team: with him I have shared on the field, wearing the Rugby Roma jersey, some of the most important joys of my playing career and I am happy to find a solid, proven group that combines experience and freshness and that, thanks to his work and that of the technical staff, has achieved the goal of qualifying for the next World Cup”.
“I will immediately get to work to get on top form for the debut in the Six Nations: we will have a couple of months to do so, but I am sure that the girls will put as always all the effort possible to achieve performances to be proud of” concluded the new technical commissioner.
