Football, Conte: "I’ve won and lost titles on the final day, humility and calm are needed from everyone"

Rome, May 2 (LaPresse) – "We’ve had a sense of responsibility from day one. I’ve always said that I received before giving. The goal is always to bring emotions to the fans. The main goal was achieved early: we’re in the Champions League, and you know how important that is financially for all big clubs. The other goal we set, which I had talked about, was to make things difficult for others – that goal has been met because we are doing that. Now, the third goal is to understand what kind of trouble we want to cause – whether it’s important trouble or just the kind that kept the league uncertain."

So said Napoli’s coach Antonio Conte ahead of the match against Lecce. "Let’s not forget that two weeks ago we were 3 points behind, and that must serve as a reminder to stay calm and humble, which should never be lost in the Napoli environment. We must understand that we are all in this together for something unexpected, something nobody imagined. But we must stay compact, humble, and with our feet on the ground. There are 4 matches left, and I’ve had experiences where I’ve won and lost titles on the last day and in the final moments. There is only one winner, but the players have worked humbly, without any grand illusions. Substance is key," he added.
