A draw that leaves a bitter taste in the mouth but doesn't dampen their ambitions. Napoli leaves the Tardini with a 1-1 draw against Parma and sees their pursuit of the top spot become more complicated, but Antonio Conte tries to keep the tension high and defend the team's path.
"We're disappointed with the result, but it's still a point that moves the table. We knew we'd be playing against a Parma side with a very low block in the final thirty meters," Conte explained post-match. It was a tough match, made even more difficult by the opponents' tactical choices, who were good at closing down every space.
The Italian coach doesn't look for excuses but identifies the key moment of the match: "There's a very fine line between who wins and who doesn't. We should have approached the game more carefully. After the goal, they barricaded themselves, as is right."
Despite everything, Napoli created chances and pushed forward consistently, but without finding the decisive touch. "Overall, I have little to criticize the team for: the game was uphill for sixty minutes. It's not easy to consistently play in the final thirty meters without suffering counterattacks," Conte added.
The Scudetto issue remains, inevitable after a result that slows the race. But the coach doesn't close the door: "The dream isn't extinguished, even if it was tied exclusively to the results of those ahead of us."
Finally, a word on the mistake that led to Parma's lead: "There's little to comment on, because the mistake is obvious. We often experience these types of situations. You also have to consider the match and the moment: sometimes, even due to emotion, you don't make the right choice."
