Conte's assistant Strini said in an interview with the media, "My feeling is not to enjoy the game, but to be responsible for the team. I feel the pressure. This is also the moment when I need to grow as a coach. When you need to make important decisions, you have to feel responsible."
"Conte is recovering, he's a bit upset because he can't be with us. But he's in good shape and we know he needs to recover fully from the surgery," Strini continued. , now he needs to slow down."
"We don't actually know if the pain he felt against AC Meters was from pressure, or if his recovery time was too short, and he understands that he came back too soon. We talk to him every day about it. The topic of the team and training will also make some decisions together."
"But this one is definitely good for his recovery, but he's always unhappy when he's away from work and he's happier here with our team. Maybe it's a different kind of pressure, but he needs it too. Take it easy, and I don't know when he'll be back."
