Napoli manager Antonio Conte has encouraged his players to enjoy being near the top of Serie A without feeling the pressure of the title race. Speaking ahead of their crucial clash with league leaders Inter Milan, Antonio Conte emphasized the importance of staying focused. Napoli, currently one point behind Inter with 56 points from 26 games, aim to build on their 2022\/23 title success and put last season\u2019s disappointing 10th-place finish behind them. \u201cBeyond the standings, I would have expected a Napoli that, after seven months, would start taking shape,” Conte, who took charge at the start of the season, told reporters. \u201cFinding ourselves in this position should fill us with pride, but it shouldn\u2019t put pressure on us. “As I told the guys, sometimes pressure can be positive, other times negative.
