Antonio Vergara expressed surprise at Antonio Conte's departure from Napoli and expressed eagerness to face Arsenal, according to Il Mattino. The Napoli player highlighted that he sees no difference between Inter Milan and Napoli, emphasizing that only the standings matter. Vergara gave an interview ahead of his team's Serie A match against Como at Stadio Maradona.
The match represented Massimiliano Allegri's home debut with the Partenopei, following their 2-0 away victory over Genoa last week, where Vergara scored and assisted. Allegri praised Allegri's personal and direct approach, noting his appreciation for Allegri's humor. Vergara commented that Conte was obsessive about victories, even becoming angry after a 4-0 win, anticipating the next one.
Vergara also dismissed Inter Milan and Napoli's chances of winning the Scudetto, stating, "For now, I think the difference is zero. We both have three points, and only the table matters." The Napoli squad reportedly isn't considering a Scudetto win: "No, out of scaramancy," Vergara stated. Lastly, Vergara predicted Barcelona as the top contender to win the Coppa Italia, citing their status as the best team in the world.
