Conte in awe of new Napoli duo McTominay and Gilmour

Conte remarked, "I'm incredibly impressed with them. They're a group of very dedicated individuals, and I've actually had the chance to face them before back in the Premier League."

"They raise the level, they bring competition, and that's how it has to be.

"Over time, we must create a competitive team, without given starting players. We don't think like a small club, but like a club with ambition and the will to challenge for important things."
