Conte urges not to let anxiety affect performance

With goals from Lukaku and Raspadori, Napoli defeated Fiorentina 2-1 in the 28th round of Serie A. Conte said that meaningless anxiety should not affect the performance of the game, and said that the players are doing extraordinary things.

In the 26th minute of the game, McTominay got the ball and shot. Fiorentina goalkeeper De Gea dropped the ball when trying to save it. Lukaku then took advantage of the opportunity to score, helping Napoli to take the lead 1-0.

In the 60th minute of the second half, Raspadori received a pass from Lukaku and scored, extending Napoli's lead to 2-0. In the 66th minute, Keane passed the ball and Gudmundsson took it and shot from the top of the penalty area, helping Fiorentina to tie the game at 1-2.

In the end, Napoli defeated Fiorentina 2-1 at home. After returning to the winning track, Napoli is currently ranked second in the standings with 60 points, only one point behind the leader.

Napoli coach Conte said, "This victory is deserved, but considering the number of opportunities we created, such a number of goals is far from enough, so I am not satisfied with it. We must go all out and not let meaningless anxiety affect the game. Just like against Inter Milan, we played well for a long time and took the initiative until the anxiety began to creep in."

"People often take the results of the team for granted, but it is not. I must emphasize that this is not normal. The team suffers injuries to important players and the outside world will say that this is normal. When talented players leave the team, it is also considered normal to achieve such results. But in fact, the players here are doing extraordinary things.

When it comes to the topic of tactical system, Conte said, "The players did a great job in finding alternatives, but next time please trust me and let me concentrate on coaching instead of telling me what formation to play."

"Keep having faith in me, this team has overcome a lot and will continue to do so. We will fill the gaps with great performances and respond in the best way possible."
