Conte's statements on the eve

The home draw with the Genoa, with a double comeback, has dampened the enthusiasm at home a bit Napoli, but the Scudetto remains very close and could arrive as early as tomorrow evening in the event of a victory at Tardini and contemporary defeat of theInter against Lazio:a fact that made the week very particular and anything but ordinary, as clearly stated by Antonio Conte of press conference of vigil of the delicate away match at the Tardini. "We have arrived at the end of the season with the fortune of playing something important thanks to our merits. We have already achieved our objective: to return to Champions League, taking a place away from those who had distanced us by many points last year. Now we have to see how much trouble we want to cause". All this while trying not to fall into the proverbial tennis elbow. "These are pressures and stresses that we deserve. We cannot say that everything is normal: only those who have never played anything can think that there is no emotional and passionate involvement. There is a bit of everything and we will have to be good at managing it. I don't want to talk about worry. There is the imponderable, as we saw against Genoa with a series of unfortunate coincidences, but this factor could also turn in our favor". Il 2-2 against the red and blues, regardless of how the fight with the endsInter, still bothers a lot Tale and to the entire planet Napoli. "I watched the match again and I confirm that we dominated it far and wide. But football is not mathematics and, as I was saying, there are the imponderable. However, this is part of the past, even if a victory would have meant a lot unlike a draw. Now the present is the Parma and we have to face it with all our strength to get the better of a team in excellent health and playing for salvation, in addition to having stopped theInter and beat the Juventus". In short, the ducal practice promises to be complicated: even more so because of the physical conditions to be evaluated of key elements such as Scott McTominay e David Neres. "McTominay had some problems, but as always we will find the solution also thanks to a trusted group, which has overcome important difficulties. Neres - continues Tale - he has recovered: last week he trained half a time with us and had a maximum autonomy of ten minutes, while now he is ready to give more even if certainly not as a starter yet".

Towards Parma

In short, the draw with the Genoa has left residue in the minds but also in the bodies of the Azzurri, who tomorrow night will have to deal with a tough team despite a salvation that is still to be conquered. "They are still fighting, as the standings say, and when it is like that you show your claws, your teeth grow longer: so we will find a combative team that will give everything to obtain a good result to save themselves". On one side the ambitions of the dukes, but on the other the dreams of the Azzurri, called to provide a prompt response after an unexpected slowdown: we will have to take the pulse of a group that up to now has always come out of difficult moments in a great way. "The boys know that they are playing for an unpredictable objective, different from the big clubs, for which one more or one less championship does not change their life: for a place like ours, however, it would be a historic result. Just think that two years ago they had not won it for over 30 years, since the times of Diego Armando Maradona, and we know in these cases how many differences there are". Conte also alludes to the approach to the possible triumph. "Those who are used to it live more serenely together with the whole environment: on the contrary, anxiety and tension take over, which we will have to keep under control. The boys know what it means to win here: we have all seen it, myself first, what happened two years ago, without wanting to return to the previous championships. Managing to win here means having the luck and the skill to enter the history of the city too". Hence, it seems, the maximum care of a very particular eve also due to the contemporaneity of the matches. "In the end we will all update each other, but the result of the two teams cannot influence the other: each will have to think about doing its part to win, as we will have to do. We feel the responsibility, perhaps too much. I think I have broad shoulders to manage similar situations, but I cannot deny that here there is a burden that is not there elsewhere. On our part, we want to repay the affection we have received, but let's not forget that a nice slice of cake has already been served: we are back in Champions League with four days to go and we know that this milestone is vital for the club, in addition to participating in the next Super Cup. We have revitalised last year's squad, which had lost a lot, and recreated euphoria and enthusiasm, always bringing back the Maradona sold out. Now we have to put the cherry on top, the one that will make us remember forever in this city".
