The coach takes stock of the calendar year after the victory in Cremona: “With the Scudetto and Super Cup, a beautiful 2025: “Every time someone wins other than Inter, Juve and Milan, it means that something extraordinary has been done”
2025 couldn’t have ended in a better way, for Napoli and for Antonio Conte. An away victory against Cremonese which keeps the Azzurri in their wake at the top, after the victory of the Italian Super Cup. “We are celebrating a beautiful year, where we did something extraordinary and unexpected, with the victory of the scudetto and crowned by the Super Cup where we beat Inter, Milan and Bologna. It was a calendar year full of emotions, then in Naples we celebrate in a different and unique way. We celebrated the scudetto and the Super Cup, in the championship we are there trying to always remain attached to the top positions. We are doing this, despite the fact that we are facing very serious problems as courageous men and I have to give it to the boys, they want to honor the scudetto on the chest and make the fans proud”, observed the coach at the end of the match.

Honorable mention for Rasmus Hojlund, author of the brace that knocked out Cremonese. “He is a very young player, he is only 22 years old and he can improve a lot. From when he arrived until today, he has become a dominant player. He is understanding the position, how to move and when to come forward, he is very connected with the team. In my football, the forwards are very important and have a particular role in the economy of the game. Hojlund has incredible room for improvement.” Napoli, therefore, continues to hold its own despite the many injuries. “Annibale said that if there isn’t a road we have to build it and we are doing it with dedication. We didn’t have Meret, Anguissa, De Bruyne, Lukaku and Gilmour. The only hope I can make is that they can return soon. The injuries are serious, we will need to be patient and understand in what conditions they will return, we must take this into account” continued the coach.
we are not ready

Conte’s statements regarding the fact that Napoli cannot be considered a dominant team in Serie A had given pause for thought. The coach returned to the topic. “We are not yet ready for many reasons. Today, for me, Juventus, Inter and Milan are different in terms of structure, second teams, wages and asset value compared to the others. But every time someone other than one of these three wins, it means that something extraordinary has been done. We cannot hide with our heads in the sand and not see certain differences, then we try to do it on the pitch, but we are talking about very different realities” he concluded.
