Before the win over Verona, Conte announced that the Georgian star had submitted a transfer request.
After Sunday's victory, the coach said: “I want to underline one thing, because it seems like I speak Italian. If I were in England, I would have some doubts that someone might not understand me with English. I spoke of disappointment, not towards the player or the club.
“My disappointment because in these six months I have not been able to make an impact so that something changes. It is not that Kvara has disappointed me or that the club has disappointed me. I do not put the responsibility on others, I always take it. ” personally, I thought I could have made an impact in some other way during these six months, but instead I realized we were back to square one.
“I saw the headlines today 'Conte disappointed with Kvara', I am not disappointed with Kvara. I am disappointed with the situation because I was not able to make an impact. A coach of a certain level also helps the club in making decisions, advises certain players to take And when I realize that I am not astute, as in this case where we are back to square one, that is my disappointment without taking anything away from Khvicha, who is a very good guy.
“Then everyone has to determine their own destiny and the club has to make its decisions. Maybe I was also a bit presumptuous because I thought I would have a bigger impact, but I didn't succeed.
“It's a shame because we are talking about a strong, important player. But we also have to understand the reality of the facts. That said, Khvicha is a Napoli player today, let's not forget that because steps need to be taken put.” If someone wants to buy Khvicha, nothing can be taken for granted. We'll see what happens.”
