In the awareness of the expectation that the’environment is breathing.

“We have the good fortune to play for a really important goal – Conte explained in a press conference from Castel Volturno. “We cannot call our end of the season normal, because we are playing for a goal that certainly goes beyond what was in our minds. Already we are back in the Champions League, which was what we wanted. Then there’s the imponderable, although you can prepare everything in the best possible way”.

Conte then focused on his Napoli players and how they are preparing for the big challenge: “They know they are playing for a goal that cannot be predicted, and that for a square like this is absolutely historic. Those who are used to winning them live more serenely, when that is not the case the whole environment becomes more anxious and charged with tension. Our task is to keep this under control, while being aware of what winning a Scudetto here represents for the city”.

“Personally I feel a great sense of responsibility, even too much – explained Conte -. I think I have broad enough shoulders to handle such situations, but I cannot deny that it is still quite a burden. In any case, we all have the desire to repay all this affection, we have prepared a beautiful cake and now we want very much to put the icing on it. We have the ambition to be remembered, and to go down in the history of Naples and Napoli”.
