Rome, 22 August (LaPresse) – "Lukaku's injury? It's important for a player who had a specific role, he had it last year in the Scudetto, but we know very well that these situations can happen during the year. Something important happened last year too, not just injuries, but things can also happen in the transfer market, something that seems to bring everything down, but these guys showed last year that they can cope with anything. What we have to do is not look for excuses or blame others, what we have to do is find a solution." These were the words of Antonio Conte, Napoli coach, on the eve of the first league match against Sassuolo. ‘We did it last year when we faced every difficulty. We never cried, but found solutions. They know that, and I haven't even talked to the players about the injury. It's part of the game, like the transfer market. We try to work so that what we have can shine as much as possible,’ added the Napoli coach.
