In a city preparing for the Scudetto celebrations, Antonio Conte calls for calm but warns his players: "We've done a great job, the team knows very well that it has to be finished now."

These are the words of the coach on the eve of the match that could be worth the fourth scudetto for Napoli. Between the Azzurri and the title there is only Cagliari, expected tomorrow evening at 20:45 in a packed “Maradona”.

"We now feel the responsibility to give Naples and the Neapolitan fans something beautiful and historic. What do you feel on a eve like this? You feel a great desire to get on the field and play this match. We come from a stressful season and clearly this could be the last match that closes a season for me lived in a new place, in a new environment".

"What matters - observes the Napoli coach - is the work. Tomorrow night we will have to work well both in the offensive and defensive phases. We must continue to work all together thinking that it is precisely the work that has brought us to be here today talking about something special. This work that we have started we must try to finish it".

"The situation - continues the coach - has not changed compared to the last match. How do you approach this match? It changes little, we have always tried to attack the matches. Sometimes we do it better, sometimes less easily. Tomorrow there is Cagliari, a good team. We will have to play our game, respecting the opponent 100%. You need everything, in your personal baggage".

Conte, sent off in Parma, will not be on the bench: "I will have two hearts, one on the bench and one in the stands", he says, not hiding his regret for the disqualification. "I'm sorry - he explains - after a championship like that I would like to be on the pitch with the boys, with our fans, to lead the team. Having said that, I have faith in the staff, in the group and in the fans".
