Antonio Conte leaves the Maradona stadium with the satisfaction of seeing his team once again overcome the limitations of contingency. The 2-1 win against Juventus brought with it a sense of pride that the coach didn't hide after the match, when he chose to focus on the team's mental strength. "Today, more than ever, we need to thank the players. We're going through a difficult period in terms of numbers, but those who take to the field are always there, with a great sense of responsibility. These guys have grown so much, and that fills me with pride. Everyone has understood the unique moment we're going through," he said to DAZN.
In his account of the match, Conte emphasized Napoli's identity, the result of their weekly work and a mentality that seems to have consolidated even under pressure. "Tonight's game was played with great energy and tactical precision, showcasing the quality plays we'd practiced during the week," he emphasized. He then expanded his focus to recent matches, recalling the journey they've faced without a full squad: "We faced Atalanta, Roma, and Juventus in a state of emergency. I'm amazed by the energy these guys are putting in. Now we need to rest and then focus on Benfica."

Finally, the Salento coach stated: "McTominay, like everyone else, is doing something extraordinary in terms of awareness and responsibility for the situation. Elmas, for example, also put in a great performance, playing in midfield for the first time. Even in difficult situations, we always manage to find new opportunities."
