Napoli coach Antonio Conte has caused a stir in Inter Milan with his comments ahead of the final day of the Serie A season.
This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews.
Napoli coach Antonio Conte has not been shy about playing mind games with Inter Milan in the Serie A title race.
The veteran former Nerazzurri, Juventus, and Chelsea coach has done everything he can to characterize his team as underdogs.
Moreover, Conte has taken potshots at referees in Serie A.
And in recent weeks, Conte has really tried to emphasize the pressure on both teams. He has declared that there is little point in finishing in second place.
Furthermore, the Napoli coach has made the not-too-subtle insinuation that a league campaign is a greater indication of a team’s quality than a knockout one.
Napoli Coach Conte Causes A Stir In Inter Milan Ahead Of Serie A Final Day
According to Tuttosport, Conte’s message has been received loud and clear at Inter.
The Nerazzurri are aware of the mind games that the Partenopei coach is playing.
And Inter are feeling the frustration and the pressure from Conte’s comments.
Inter know that they have slipped up too often, most recently with last weekend’s draw with Napoli. This has given Napoli a golden opportunity in the title race.
Therefore, Conte now seems to have Inter right where he wants them.
