Napoli, Antonio Conte keeps his feet on the ground

These are the words of Napoli coach Antonio Conte after the 2-1 comeback win over Juventus: “We always maintain enthusiasm, which è lifeblood. Napoli è a very passionate square but we have to stay calm, keep our feet on the ground. So far it has done something extraordinary, 53 points so far, compared to last year and without Osimhen, Zielinski and now Kvaratskhelia. You are somewhat underestimating how much this team is doing". 

"All matches are special,” Conte continued, “Today three points were put on the board first of all to get back into Europe through the front door, which remains a goal not forgotten. Now we have the match against Roma that è difficult, but having won in Bergamo in that way must give us great satisfaction and today the same thing. I am sorry that the merits are not recognized, that some gurus say we play on the counterattack. But we keep quiet and work".

On the last week of the market, Conte stresses that " let's see what happens, I remain calm because I know I have a group of guys ready to come to war with me. The intensity è of today è of a European game, very high pace and full-court pressure. My role as leader of the group è to do the best with who I have in the house, then we will see”.

On the other hand, these are the words of the captain of the leading team, Giovanni Di Lorenzo: "Our team è matured a lot since the beginning of the season, in these two matches won against Atalanta and Juventus we show that we are serious and that we know how to deal with these important matches that make us take another step. The first half è was balanced, with them very well in attack, because theyé are an important and strong team, it fits us not to always lead. In the resumption però we entered the field with the right attitude and this è the symptom of a mature team".

On the scudetto idea, Di Lorenzo stressed that "the team thinks game by game, we are doing something exceptional and extraordinary that seemed impossible to do at the beginning of the season. Coming from a difficult year and being able to become competitive right away is worth a lot but this means that the team has worked hard and we enjoy this first place. Forò we are in the third of return, there are many to play and then we will see where we".
