Antonio Conte is a master at season endings, and a resounding fact pops up that ignites Napoli fans’ hope for a Scudetto win
If there is a reason why Napoli can still truly believe in the Scudetto, it is Antonio Conte himself: the most Scudetto-winning coach in this league. And so forward with confidence, because it is Antonio’s past that sends a strong message to the Neapolitan people, a signal that smacks of redemption and dreams to be chased to the last breath. Since coaching in Serie A, in the long sprints at the end of the season Conte has always made the difference. His teams have turned up the engine revs, moving swiftly toward the finish line, never letting up.
The Salento coach has a resume that speaks for itself: four championships won out of five seasons as a protagonist, but more importantly, five times out of five he has outclassed his direct rival for the title in the last nine days. It is a figure that weighs like a boulder and ignites hope under Vesuvius.
Napoli’s schedule presents two thrilling challenges against AC Milan and Bologna, then opens up to softer commitments on paper. But to achieve the feat, hunger will be needed, the hunger that Conte knows how to awaken in his boys.
Antonio Conte e lo scudetto: un binomio vincente
To speak of Antonio Conte is to speak of victory, of grit. His three-year tenure at Juventus, from 2011 to 2014, was a masterpiece: three consecutive Scudettos, transforming a team reeling from difficult years into an unstoppable battleship. And then there is the title with Inter in 2021, another triumph built step by step, with a comeback that made rivals tremble.
With the Bianconeri in his first year, he scraped together 25 points in 9 games, with 8 wins and 1 draw, and this allowed him to go from -4 to +4 and win the title. The following season he scored 22 points resulting from 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss and left Napoli behind him by 9 points. While in his third year with 8 wins and one loss and 24 points he even closed on 102.
With Inter, on the other hand, he scored 18 points in his first season, with 5 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, which did not lead to the Scudetto but still allowed the Nerazzurri to shorten their lead over Sarri’s Juventus. In the second year, on the other hand, in the final rush they obtained 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss that consolidated an undeserved Scudetto and a +12 from Milan.
Will it succeed in this feat against Napoli as well? The -3 gap from Inter does not appear irretrievable. If Conte manages to get at least 22 points, the result of 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, the dream would still be possible. Then everything will also depend on the Nerazzurri, who will have to make more than one misstep to abdicate and leave the scepter to the Neapolitans.
