    The 25-year-old centre-back joined the Naples giants in the summer for €40 million from Torino and has been an instant mainstay, with his fine form helping the club to the top of the table. The player has revealed that he met Conte just a few months before they joined Napoli.

    “We met by chance in a restaurant in Turin,” Buongiorno said. “We talked for 10-15 minutes, then we talked a bit and finally I decided to say yes (to Napoli).”

    Buongiorno has been one of the best defenders in the league this season, showing not only his excellent defensive play but also his involvement in the attacking game.

    “Every attacking play starts with the defenders and we work on this with the coach. We have to move as much as possible to receive the ball from the goalkeeper and other teammates.” ( thaisiambet )
