Milan, May 17 (LaPresse) – "The feeling is that the players know they are playing for an objective that was not expected, which for a city like Naples is historic, while for big clubs it’s just another title. We know the difference and how these situations are experienced." This is what Napoli’s coach Antonio Conte said during the press conference on the eve of the match against Parma. "Those used to such goals handle it more calmly, while those who aren’t used to it create tension in the whole environment. Everyone, myself first, saw what happened just two years ago. We know what it represents – important events that, when they happen, if you have the skill and luck to take part, you have the chance to stay in the history of the city and the team," Conte said. "I feel a great responsibility, perhaps even too much; I feel a significant weight on my shoulders. I think I have broad shoulders to handle these situations, but I can’t deny it’s quite a load that you don’t have in other cities," he admitted. "We were asked for a beautiful cake, the return to the Champions League, and we presented it with four games to spare. Now we have to put the cherry on top," Conte added, addressing the club.
