David Neres gave a long interview to Corriere della Sera, where he talked about several topics, including the Scudetto race and his relationship with Conte
He told Corriere della Sera, David Neres, ready to return from the injury that kept him off the field for 50 days. A period in which Napoli has picked up very little on the field, with only one win against Fiorentina and an endless series of draws. The latest, the one against Venezia, which allowed Inter to fly to the top of the standings with a gap of 3 points.
A distance that does not scare the Brazilian striker. Smiling and spreading his arms wide, Neres in fact declared:
“Who wins the Scudetto? Napoli, why not! It’s not easy but we will certainly try until the end. It’s not like we can give up now.”

During the long talk, the Brazilian also focused on his relationship with Antonio Conte. The Lecce coach strongly wanted him in the summer, giving the player an opportunity to try his hand in a European league with a much higher level of difficulty.

Neres got to know his own coach better and described him as follows, rolling his eyes and laughing:
“Very nice! I am serious: he demands a lot from every player. For me it’s perfect because when a coach is not demanding I tend to relax. He brings out the best, stimulates you, motivates you like nobody else. And he also scolds you, it happened to me after two weeks I was here.”
It was precisely on this aspect that he dwelt, telling an unpublished anecdote:
“We had had a friendly match and let’s say I was not committed, he called me aside in a clear and direct way.
At that moment, however, I understood well who I was facing and how I had to behave. It served me well.”
Finally, a comment on Conte’s training:
“These are the hardest I’ve ever run. I’ve run more in these six months than in the rest of my career so far.”
Neres got a good taste of the Conte method and is now ready to return to help Napoli. It will be an intense season finale where there can be no more mistakes. The Brazilian could even return as a starter when he is 100 percent ready, and his plays will have a major specific weight in the Scudetto race with Inter. The hope is to see him shine again as he did before the injury.
