“Napoli’s advantage is that I can train the team all week,” Conte was quoted as saying by Calciomercato.

“The disadvantage is that Napoli’s team is not as competitive as those who play in European club competitions.”

“But the reality is that we are still too far away to feel like we can win the Scudetto.”

“I know that expectations are high because I have done many important things.”

“Let the fans dream but I will keep my feet on the ground.”

“There are a lot of teams ahead of us that we have to catch up on.”

“We have to make up ground to get Napoli where they deserve to be.”
