After the disastrous defeat, Conte blasted the top management: 9 new players ruined the team

Work statement: Personal opinion, for reference only

A Champions League defeat that went down in history completely exposed the conflicts in the locker room of Serie A champion Naples to the public. After encountering the darkest battle of his coaching career, coach Conte pointed the finger at the club's summer signing policy.

Historic collapse, the championship defense collapsed

In the Champions League group match on October 22, Naples suffered an incredible defeat in an away game. Facing PSV, whose strength and worth were inferior to theirs, Naples' defense completely collapsed, and they finally swallowed the bitter pill with a score of 2-6.

This defeat set two extremely embarrassing records: it was the most goals conceded in a single game in the European competition since the team was founded 121 years ago; it was also the first time in head coach Conte's entire coaching career that his opponent scored six times in a single game.

The game process was like a nightmare, and the red card became a turning point.

The game process made the supporters feel suffocated. After the team took the lead with McTominay's header, they lost two goals in a row in just 7 minutes, and the situation took a turn for the worse. In the second half, the team not only failed to organize an effective counterattack, forward Lorenzo Luca received a red card for irrational behavior in the 76th minute, which became the straw that broke the camel's back. Naples, who had one less player to challenge, completely collapsed in the final stage. Although McTominay scored another goal, it was difficult to change the tragic ending of 2-6.

Conte publicly questioned the signing strategy, and internal conflicts surfaced.

What was more eye-catching than the score was the post-match press conference. Conte, who has always been known for his toughness, did not blame the players on the field this time, but pointed to the club management. He bluntly pointed out: "We introduced a total of 9 new players this summer, and such a range of lineup changes is devastating." He further emphasized that such a large-scale personnel change destroyed the stability of the team's chemical reaction, and hinted that this was not his intention.

In-depth analysis: The sequelae of exchange transfusion are breaking out

Conte's speech undoubtedly ignited a signal flare. This season, Napoli has invested heavily in the transfer market in order to maintain competitiveness. However, the scale of signings of up to 9 people means that the team almost needs to rebuild half of its main lineup. The tacit understanding between players, tactical understanding and locker room cohesion all take a long time to develop.

The 2-6 defeat in this game is a concentrated expression of this "sequelae of blood exchange". The players on the field seemed to have different ideas and the defensive system was fragmented. Conte's complaint profoundly reveals the high risks of rapid reconstruction. This defeat is not only a defeat in a game, but also a severe test of the club's overall team-building strategy. What lies before the team is the huge problem of how to quickly integrate the lineup and calm down internal conflicts.
