Conte and the search for glory

Steel nerves. He prepares to load the eve with the Genoa. More than a final, it is almost a game with life at stake. From the first instant that set foot in Naples, the Azzurro world understood that Coubertin’s motto, that is, “the important thing is to participate,” is not exactly his favorite. And de laurentiis follows. Let’s say: the baron who reborn the Olympic games has never been a reference for Conte. Because it is clear for everyone that for him only matters to win. “Because it is the one who makes the story.” Little care if this gives the impression of being uncommant. He is not interested. The goal is to win the championship from the first day that arrived in Naples, but even he expected him to arrive so soon. Conte approaches with a game, that of Lecce, which certifies a kind of Azzurra self -consciousness: it is a team that looks with realism (full of absences, without nerest the man of fantasy), he gets the best of himself every time, he accepts a destiny of effort that can produce substance more than beauty. And now that the goal is there, visible on the horizon, the ghosts of his life appear. Above all, the fatal perugia where Juventus lost the championship in the rain. But also the defeat in Pasadena, with the Italy of Sacchi defeated in penalties in the world final with Brazil, left a mark on the skin. And then warn everyone: “I know the pain that causes losing on the last day.” The team has become like him: ruthless, cynical, essential. The satisfaction of Conte goes far beyond the 77 points: the victory in Lecce is the symbol of the property. With a past second time behind the barricades, celebrating the clearings of Rrhamani and Di Lorenzo, counting the seconds that passed, sighing in each danger avoided and yet feeling fully happy, as if this were the only way to glory. He is already in the head of Genoa: he could have stayed at home, taking advantage of the two days of rest that he granted to the team that takes up the training only tomorrow. But to rest the players can be, not him. That is never disconnected. Conte has not received goals for 386 minutes: he has shielded the defense from the worst moment, since the best of his, Buongiorno, was injured. Yesterday he asked Lobotka several times about his condition, because he is anxious for him. Conte won in his Lecce with the minimum game but not with the minimum effort, because resisting the attempts of the Salentinos committed it thoroughly. But do you really think this is an issue that matters to Conte? He sees his tenth championship to three games and would sign for another three 1-0 like that of Lecce. Or with him all the Neapolitan people. De Laurentiis included: Sarri’s great beauty no longer cares, he had left in his heart but does not pursue her anymore. It returns to Italy and on its final crucis between the common di Qualiano (for the sports center), that of Naples (for the stadium) and with the prefect (for the championship party that, this time, foresees the bus discovered by the city) will also find the way to see Conte and start laying the foundations for the future. Because De Laurentiis intends to keep Conte (in fact, he has shielded him with a three -year contract) and Conte, although in his role as eternal dissatisfied, he wants to move forward with the project. Yes, the meeting will occur shortly. As is fair to be. Manna has a long time ago and the list of desires of Conte knows it well the sports director: eight level signings, and among them at least three strikers. And also knows the bar of Laurentiis: do not go beyond 100 million salary mass. He demands a lot of himself and others. And he wants to listen to the president of Laurentiis who still wants to invest in Naples as last summer. Because in January he had some doubt. But it will not leave: also because man is perfectly at ease, as lifestyle, customs and logistics, in Naples where he immediately found fair alchemy. Then, it would cost him to find a club that has given him as much white letter as he also did of Laurentiis that took his full staff, without cutting any of the requests. He will talk to De Laurentiis de Projects and Clarity (also about the Sports Center), of gaps and ribbons. Conte does not hide. He doesn’t need it, I wouldn’t even know doing it. It has exposed too much, superimposing its disturbance to a party that is approaching huge steps. And that he will enjoy to the bottom.
