Ademola Lookman has added his name to the history books following his goal against Napoli yesterday.
Furthermore, Protti attributed much of Napoli’s success to Conte’s specific transfer decisions, particularly the acquisition of Romelu Lukaku.
“He is one of those centre-forwards I would have been happy to play with because I’ve always preferred strikers who create space for me.

Ademola Lookman was in fine form for Atalanta before he was substituted against Napoli.
“Conte is doing an incredible job, and I was convinced that Napoli had made a great move this year after last season. The choice of coach was perfect; Conte has never failed and has always coached in top-tier leagues.
“The credit for this season goes to Conte, who wanted a player like Lukaku, someone he knew well. Antonio’s great strength is his ability to adapt to the players at his disposal, not just sticking to one style of play” Protti explained.

This suggests that Conte is not rigid in his tactics and is willing to adjust his approach based on the strengths and weaknesses of his squad.
