Antonio Conte (55 years old), Napoli's coach, said he was “exhausted” after the draw “white” From travel with Parma, the team coached by Cristi Chivu (44 years old). The spirits were finished at the end, and both coaches were eliminated in the extensions and will miss the decisive matches in the last stage of Serie A.
The Napoletans went through a real emotional carousel on “Stadio Tardini”, largely due to the news from “Giuseppe Meazza”, where Inter and Lazio finished on a draw, score 2-2.
Conte's team hit the bar twice through Matteo Poltano and Scott Mctminay, and in the extensions he received a penalty for a foul on David Neres, who was canceled after consulting Var due to an previous foul of Giovanni Simeone in attack.
Antonio Conte: “It's a very difficult season”
“We are close to Scudetto, but we still have to take the last step. It will be taken on our stadium, with the support of our fans. It is a very difficult season, we achieved what we wanted, to fight for the first place until the end.
For a long time we were leaders, despite a season full of difficulties, but we never complained, we went on and we are about to achieve something unconceivable and historical for Naples. A victory in Naples is definitely different from a victory elsewhere, at ordinary clubs to win titles and trophies ”, said Conte, quoted by Sportal.bg.
Antonio Conte: “This is the most difficult season of my career”
“The problem is that everything seems normal to us. We are missing Lobotka, Buongiorno, Juan Jesus, we are constantly losing players because of the injuries, but we are still up for the title. Today we did not have many players available on the bench, so these boys are worth praising because they gave everything.
I hope we can celebrate this Scudetto, because it would be great. This is definitely the most difficult season of my career. We had to miss the players in the second half of the season, to change the system and other tactical situations.
The one year break allowed me to try and study different situations. I also had the opportunity to work 7 days a week, which I couldn't have done if I played every 3 days.
On the other hand, our lot was already thin and we finally reach completely exhausted. We have to continue, because we bite strongly and feel the taste of Victoria ”, added the Italian.
Napoli has his fate in his own hands, because a victory against those from Cagliari, already saved from relegation, will ensure the Scudetto, regardless of the result of the match between Inter and Como.
“It would be a reward for everything I invested this year. I gave everything, I have exceeded my limits. I also know that I am exhausted, I can barely reach the end of this season.
Napoli is wonderful because of passion and enthusiasm, but that brings with himself demands and expectations that are often higher than the real possibilities.
I feel a great responsibility, I felt it from the beginning and, as the season advanced, we started to realize that we can stay in the lead until the end, ”said Conte.
Conte and Simone Inzaghi have been eliminated, so both coaches will be punished in the last stage.
“It bothers me, because you work all year to get to a decisive match. I trust the staff and these boys, especially I trust the public at Stadio Maradona.
Today I was irritated by the time drawing of Parma, because I am used to English football, where there are not so many stops for cramps, injuries, simulations, so that annoyed me and that's why I was eliminated”, Concluded Conte.
