This Saturday's defeat to Lazio at the 'Maradona Stadium' was a heavy defeat for Napoli that ended any hopes of a title race. Antonio Conte spoke to the media after the match and his face showed disappointment at this defeat and his team's performance.
'The flame went out? We probably didn't play a good game - said Antonio Conte - we showed little quality, Lazio was waiting for us, closed and restarted. We had 70% possession of the ball, but we only had 1 shot on goal. They showed themselves to be good at closing, while we had difficulty finding spaces. At first it seemed that we had little energy, then everything becomes difficult because the quality decreases. We conceded a goal on the counterattack, even the penalty... we could have done better'
Conte then hinted that his team suffered a psychological blow after the draw with Parma, which allowed Inter to move further apart in the standings.
'Maybe I wasn't able to understand the bad situation that was seen after the challenge with Parma - added Conte - maybe I wasn't able to give the motivation to give the maximum; to play the last matches to collect as many points as possible. We showed ourselves to be able to hold on when we were in difficulty. Now we have to secure the Champions League zone that we have been chasing for these weeks'
Conte then spoke about the future and the rumors of a return to the Italy bench, which were also increased by his and president De Laurentiis' statements.
'Annoying about the discussions about the future? Even last year, 2 months from the end of the season there was talk about other teams, the future…- added Conte- sometimes I say things that are misunderstood and exploited, but this is part of football. I start from the principle that the more you keep quiet, the better, at least until the end of the championship. Then, behind the scenes, you can talk, but for the sake of respect for the fans I have to think only about the remaining matches and this should be important for both me and my players. The president's words? It's his problem, he's the president and he can say whatever he wants. If I have to answer him, I will do it in private and not in front of everyone'.
