Turin, 5 August (LaPresse) – ‘I know that Napoli will be a great challenge, but I'm calm. I don't feel any pressure, just a lot of joy at wearing this shirt.’ These were the first words of Napoli's new goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic at his official presentation press conference. ‘Napoli has been after me since March, which made me feel very proud to be part of the Italian champions,’ he said. ‘I immediately felt welcome because I was greeted by a wonderful and very close-knit group. It will also be a great experience to play in the Champions League because I've never participated before, and it will be very stimulating.’ Speaking of Conte, "for now, he's asked me to work hard, like everyone else. Of course, when a coach of Conte's calibre calls you, it's difficult to say no. I realise that it's different playing for a club that's fighting for the top because you might only face a few shots in a game, so you have to be focused and careful to give your teammates confidence even if you only have one chance to make a save,‘ concluded the former Torino player. ’I don't feel like I'm number one or even number two. I came here to contribute to the team, and then the coach will decide. But it's a real pleasure to work with Alex, who is a very good goalkeeper. I don't feel any particular pressure, it will just be a joy to wear this shirt."
