Antonio Conte lashed out harshly during the press conference on the eve of Monza-Napoli: here is what lies behind the words of the coach of the partenopei
A potentially decisive Easter weekend for the Scudetto race. Napoli will be engaged in an away match against Monza last in the standings and, in fact, already relegated. While Inter will face Bologna at the home of the Rossoblù. The partenopei cannot make a mistake, to deserve the scudetto no other result is allowed than a victory at home of the worst performing team in Serie A.
In addition, Inter will play after Champions League exertions and without Thuram. Even with an in-form Arnautovic and against a Bologna side without Skorupski and with Castro and Odgaard ailing, the away game will still be a tough one. Italiano cashed in a bad defeat against Atalanta last week and does not want to deplete all the work done so far.

In such a context, and with a chance to latch onto the top of the standings for 24 hours, no one would have expected such a press conference from Conte. Yet the coach let loose with a no-nonsense outburst, with a very specific accusation against the club. The Lecce coach emphasized how, over the past 8 months, he has understood that certain things cannot be done in Naples.

According to today’s edition of Repubblica, his words were by no means a sign of surrender or a prelude to farewell. Conte had just been informed of Neres’ injury, and the news touched the nerve of Kvaratskhelia’s farewell and the purchase of Okafor as his replacement during the January soccer market.
