Buongiorno: Every team will go through troughs, we always trust Conte

At 04:00 on November 26, in the fifth round of this season’s UEFA Champions League group stage, Napoli will face Qarabakh at home. Before the game, Naples defender Buon Giorno accepted interviews with the media.

Has Naples adjusted well for this week's Champions League match?

Yes, we are fully tuned. We were encouraged by last week's league victory over Atalanta, but we have been preparing for this Champions League match since yesterday. We know that this will be a tough battle and will be fully prepared.

Conte said that the atmosphere in the Naples locker room is very good, but have you felt a different atmosphere within the team?

We always trust the coach, just like he trusts us. What we need to do is to restore physical strength and accumulate mental energy at the same time. Every team goes through downturns, but we always go all out and put in a huge effort to win. The team's commitment and focus have never changed.

How are you adapting to the three-back formation?

We also practiced a three-back formation last year, so I am very comfortable with both defensive systems. The wing-backs need to actively press and assist in the build-up of the attack. Against Atlanta, we successfully found the right positioning and tactical rhythm - Atlanta is a strong team that is good at one-on-one pressure, and the head coach made clear the running requirements to us in advance, so we performed well.

Naples is currently one of the teams with the best home record in Europe. In addition to the home atmosphere, what are the other key factors behind this?

We are very proud of it. The support of fans and familiar venues can give us a boost. In addition, we hope to pay tribute to Maradona with victory. Playing in this stadium is never easy for any opponent, and we will strive to continue our unbeaten record at home.

The team has suffered frequent injuries recently. Will the players have concerns about this? Are there any reservations to avoid injury?

We must always maintain a fighting attitude. The technical team and medical team are very professional, and we will use various methods to restore our condition. During the game, we must always go all out and not have any distracting thoughts.

Naples has never had a breakthrough in the Champions League. Will tomorrow be a night that rewrites history?

This game requires us to put in a lot of energy, and our opponent Karabakh has also performed well. The game will be very difficult. No matter on offense or defense, we have to go all out and devote all our concentration and energy.

Will there be a lot of one-on-one high-altitude ball competition in this game?

We will implement high-pressing tactics to try to regain the ball near the opponent's goal. There will definitely be a lot of one-on-one battles in the game and we need to play strong, win more duels and create scoring opportunities through steals.

What key research has Naples done on Karabakh? Are you more comfortable at wing-back or centre-back?

Karabakh has a high intensity of competition and is good at quick counterattacks and siege attacks. Whether it's us pressing or the other side counterattacking, there's going to be a lot of one-on-one confrontations and we have to go all out to win. The entire team must remain highly focused, and this focus is not only reflected on the defensive end. As for wing-back or centre-back – I’m comfortable in both positions and although the responsibilities are different, I can perform at my best in both positions.
