Another victory, another step towards the Scudetto. But Antonio Conte, as usual, is not committing himself. After the 1-0 win on the Lecce pitch, the Napoli coach presented himself to Dazn's microphones with his usual lucidity: “It's an important stage, but not the most important. I was so afraid of this match, there were too many emotional variables in play. The home team was coming off a good draw against Atalanta and then there was the pain of the passing of Graziano Fiorita, a person I knew well. It wasn't easy to deal with all this”.
The coach then analysed his players' performance: "We started well, the first half was excellent. In the second half the objective became to protect the three points, we were less proactive but very careful. After all, we are in a full emergency, between injuries and key players out. And today it was also added Lobotka. But we don't give up, this is our true strength."
Among the many compliments, there is also a note for Olivera, employed in a position that was not his: “He played a great game, he has already played that role in the national team, I knew he would be there. He needed experience and he gave it his all”. Finally, the clearest message: "Let's not talk about the Scudetto. Not now. My career has taught me that: I've lost and won titles on the last day. I always tell the boys one thing: those who win write history, the others at most go and read it."

The article talks about an important victory for Napoli but it seems to me that coach Conte is not very convinced. There are too many emotions at stake, and the team has to deal with injuries. It is strange that he does not want to talk about the Scudetto.
