Cannavaro admits he is a fan of Conte's approach to the game.
He told Il Mattino: “What do I like about Conte? The apparent simplicity of his game. It seems easy, but it is not. Only (Marco) Baroni seems to me to have the same characteristics. Conte is someone who is not .” Because he is ashamed of getting his hands dirty, he has no problem winning, even in a ruthless and cynical way.
“When I showed my team in Vercelli the game of the Azzurri in Empoli: 'The greats win like this, like Napoli did'. It is the 1-0 victories that give you a strong feeling.
“Tiki Taka? Something unbearable now. Nowadays it is no longer enough to win, it seems that you have to prove something more, as if it is an obsession to play well, that you have to do it at all costs to defeat those avoid that then increase the divine and dispute something. It is clearly important, but it is more important to achieve victory. And those like Conte succeed by any means, by playing well as in Florence or by playing less well.
“He does it with personality, because he is a phenomenon at adapting to what he has at his disposal. Which, let's be clear, is different from sitting there on defense and waiting to strike.”
“The Scudetto? Inter is ahead of everyone. For the big squad, the quality of the players, the project. But Napoli, with Atalanta and the others, are behind them.”
