Conte Questions Napoli's Energy and Schedules Talks With De Laurentiis After Bologna Defeat

The champions sit fourth with 22 points after three straight games without a goal.

Overview

  • Napoli fell 2-0 at Bologna, with Thijs Dallinga and Jhon Lucumi scoring at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.
  • Antonio Conte said he is "not doing a good job" and lamented a loss of last season’s "positive energy," suggesting "someone doesn’t want to listen."
  • Italian reports say Conte will meet president Aurelio De Laurentiis and the club hierarchy this week to review performances and his future.
  • The team has five defeats this season and severe attacking issues, failing to score in three straight matches and posting a 0.05 xG after halftime in Bologna.
  • Former Napoli striker Roberto Sosa asserted on Tele A that the display resembled players trying to force out the coach, a claim reflecting outside speculation about locker-room tensions.
