Agent: ‘Conte holding Napoli talent hostage, lacks courage to use young players’

The agent representing Napoli players Luca Marianucci and Giuseppe Ambrosino attacked Antonio Conte for ‘lacking the courage to use young players and holding them hostage.’

The criticism came after last night’s disappointing 1-1 Champions League draw away to 10-man FC Copenhagen.

During the injury crisis, the Partenopei have still not particularly dipped into their squad to give the main stars a rest, other than starting 23-year-old Antonio Vergara for the last two games against Sassuolo and Copenhagen.
