A heated conference in which Antonio Conte announced his farewell to Napoli. A conference in which there was no shortage of sparks between president De Laurentiis and the now former Neapolitan coach. A spat linked to Inter who became Italian champions after an extraordinary season. If the Salento coach recognizes the merits of the Nerazzurri, the owner of Napoli does not share the same opinion and did not spare any digs at the Viale della Liberazione team.
Lo scontro, le parole di ADL e Conte
De Laurentiis: "Without the injuries you would have easily won the championship again."
Conte: "But absolutely not."
De Laurentiis: "But why not? I'll tell you."
Conte: "You absolutely don't agree with me. We have to give credit to Inter, who are a great team. Last year they reached the Champions League final and this year they have also strengthened their strength. And they deserved to win."
De Laurentiis: "Well Inter are such a great team that they did less in Europe than last year."
Conte: "He did more than us. He took one step more than us."
De Laurentiis: "Okay, but that's another matter."
Conte: "I'm sorry but I don't like clinging to these things. We need to recognize the victory of others and have respect. If we want respect we have to give it. Inter deserved it, with injuries and without injuries. Maybe without injuries we would have ended up outside the Champions League."
