Everyone in the City is Asking About Scudetto
Conte: We Must Finish the Job and Secure the Title for Inter
Napoli’s coach confirmed the high pressure of playing after Inter, stating that they are only focused on securing nine points from the next three matches.
According to reports, Antonio Conte, Napoli’s head coach, addressed the media ahead of the match against Genoa. His team leads Serie A with a three-point advantage and could secure the title with three more wins, while Inter remains in pursuit.
Team Goals and City Atmosphere: “We must continue and finish the job, securing the title and ending this great race with Inter. There are still three matches left, and the job isn’t done yet. We must work hard and stay focused. The fans’ mood? This week, I stayed home more for various reasons, but I walked around the city and felt the excitement. The fans are responsible and mature, but naturally, they dream like us. The most beautiful thing I hear from them is ‘thank you.’ That is our greatest satisfaction.”
Player Conditions: “Lobotka? He returned to group training yesterday and trained again today. Tomorrow morning, we’ll have a final test to make the best decision. He’s a key player and a very strong midfielder. I don’t like playing without him. Neres? He trained partially with us yesterday and fully today. I think he can be on the bench. Bonjourno? He’s still injured and hasn’t started training; maybe next week he’ll increase his workload. Juan Jesus is eager to return, but the doctors are cautious. I really appreciate this eagerness from the players.”
Contract Extension with Napoli: “Fans aren’t asking about my stay now, so maybe the answer isn’t important. They’re asking about the Scudetto, and I say we’re doing our best. The rest is boring.”
Match Pressure and Schedule: “Playing after Inter? Pressure is inevitable. We must manage it positively and stay focused, motivated, and passionate. The next two matches will be played simultaneously, which is better. But for us, it doesn’t matter; we must focus on ourselves. Genoa has troubled many teams and will come to Napoli to put on a good show.”
Match Against Genoa: “It will be a tough game because we’re fighting for our lives, and they want to prove themselves. The stadium will be full, and we’ll have an amazing atmosphere. No one surrenders before the match.”
