Antonio Conte angers the fans of'Inter Milan.

It is a social storm between Inter and Napoli supporters in the aftermath of the words uttered by Antonio Conte on the sidelines of the Azzurri’s 4-0 success against Cremonese. In fact, the Salento coach pointed out how, in his opinion, his team is constantly under pressure from the media, much more so than direct competitors, directly quoting the Nerazzurri club.

“We are always the ones who have the spotlight on us, while I don’t see the same attention on the other teams,” Conte told Dazn’s microphones. The 1969-born coach then remarked on a concept that has not gone unnoticed by the Nerazzurri fans: “So far we are the only ones who have already brought home a trophy. Inter can still win two, but last year I remember that in the end they didn’t win any.”

A phrase that immediately made the rounds on social media, triggering piqued reactions from Inter supporters, who interpreted the reference as a gratuitous jab at their team. The comparison with last season, combined with the reference to the missed trophies, was perceived as an avoidable lunge, especially considering the already complex relationship between Conte and the Nerazzurri environment after his experience on the Inter bench.

On the sporting level, the coach wanted to reiterate the solidity of his team’s path, claiming success in the Super Cup and pointing the finger at what he considers a disproportionate pressure compared to rivals. But the message, in form and references, inevitably transcended the boundaries of the field, turning into a new chapter of tension with a fan base that has not forgotten the past and continues to react sensitively to every allusion.
