Napoli’s impressive start to the Italian Serie A season has caught the attention of many, but manager Antonio Conte remains grounded. Despite the early success, he emphasizes the importance of hard work over miracles.
“I am a man of faith, even practically, and I know only one person who performs them,” Conte said. “I always pray, even for the team, that they are well, in addition to my family there is also a prayer for the players.”
However, the Italian tactician is clear that prayer alone is not enough. “We must work, all of us, from the cook and the kit man to create something beautiful that can give extra points in a championship,” he added. “We cannot make any mistakes in this, we are not in a position to make mistakes.”
Napoli’s next test comes against Atalanta, a team that has also shown impressive form this season. Conte acknowledges the strength of Gasperini’s side, stating, “They have been in the Champions League for years, it is a team that today must be counted among the strongest, without a doubt.”
Despite the praise for Atalanta, Conte remains focused on his own team’s objectives. With a four-point lead at the top of the table, Napoli will be looking to maintain their momentum and continue their push for the Serie A title.
