Napoli will be able to restart on a positive note after the break: here’s what Conte can smile about and continue working on for the season finale
The drab draw against Venezia left Napoli fans with a bitter taste in their mouths. A 0-0 that smacks of a wasted opportunity, with the Azzurri able to stay glued to Inter and take advantage of Atalanta’s defeat in their direct clash with the Nerazzurri.
Instead, the fifth draw in seven matches has caused Conte’s team to slip three points off the top, a gap that, at this point in the season, seems like a mountain to climb. But not everything is to be thrown away: there is one statistic that puts a smile back on the Lecce coach’s face and could be the springboard to the Serie A finish.
The Napoli seen in Venice turned the fans’ noses up at the game, and who could blame them? The Azzurri had a golden chance on their hands to stay hooked to the Inter train, which is traveling fast toward the Scudetto, and put some distance between themselves and Atalanta, which fell at home against the Nerazzurri.
