Naples, Antonio Conte warns his people: "The work is not over"

Antonio Conte spoke at a press conference on the eve of Napoli-Genoa. “We have to continue, we have to try to finish the work– he began -. There are three games left, the work has to be finished, based also on what was said in June. Amma faticà, it is not finished, so we continue to work in a serious way as we have done so far”.

“I have been more at home this week, for various reasons – added the azzurri technician -. However, I have been able to attend the city, I must say that I am finding great responsibility from the fans. The fan dreams, like us, of something important, but I am finding great maturity, at least personally. I find people who say the most beautiful thing, ‘thank you’ so the work we are doing is appreciated and is the greatest satisfaction”.

Injured Chapter: “For Lobotka, he returned to the group yesterday. He also trained today. We also have tomorrow morning as a finishing test. Lobotka is important, he also has the experience, the maturity that place him to be a very strong midfielder. I certainly wouldn’t want to do without him. Neres yesterday came back to partially train with us, he trained today. I think he can be summoned and come to the bench also to taste the atmosphere a little bit again. Already seeing him with us was important. Buongiorno has not yet resumed activity. This week he could start working but there is more difficulty, as well as Juan Jesus who is dying to come back. I really appreciate this desire that everyone has to recover as soon as possible”.

“Are the fans asking me to stay? The fan right now is not asking me whether I stay or not. Besides saying thank you, the fan tells me to win the Scudetto. My answer is always that we will try with all our might. Everything else is boredom”.

“Everything depends on and starts with the head, then what the fans ask of us, the heart to sweat the jersey. Then there are the legs that have to be trained. But what moves everything is the head because everything starts from there. What I would like to add, something that is slowly being lost, even in the growth of young people, is resilience. To be ready to endure the fatigue, the obstacle, to try to overcome it. Often, as soon as the obstacle comes, you give up. I would like to add this words” Conte concluded.
