With McTominay scoring a goal, Napoli finally defeated Monza 1-0 in the 33rd round of the 2024/25 Serie A season, and won two consecutive victories. Conte said that the team did not expect to compete with Inter Milan for the Serie A championship at a critical stage, and said that the team is breaking the limit.

In the 72nd minute of the second half, Raspadori made a lob pass into the penalty area. McTominay jumped up and headed the ball into the goal facing the Monza goalkeeper, helping Napoli to take the lead 1-0.

In the end, Napoli defeated Monza 1-0 away from home, achieving an unbeaten record of 3 wins and 2 draws in the last 5 rounds, and continued to compete with Inter Milan for the Serie A championship.

Napoli coach Conte said, "We studied the tactical plan before the game and hoped to use two organizing midfielders to control the rhythm of the game. We did this, but at the same time there were not enough players entering the penalty area. Although we created some opportunities, we need to do more."

“We first adjusted with Anguiza, and then with Laspadori. This kind of game looks easy, but in fact the pressure is very high. For many players, this is the first time in their career that they have really participated in a head-to-head confrontation for the championship. This is a championship confrontation that no one expected. In my opinion, it is incredible and extraordinary to be in this position. What these players have done is worthy of praise, and I am happy that the team can continue to put pressure on Inter Milan.”

In addition, Conte also said, "We are fighting for unexpected and almost unimaginable goals. At the beginning of the season, who would have thought that Napoli would compete with Inter Milan for the first place? And we are really pushing the limit."

"We haven't won away from home for a long time, but we finally did it. What makes me even more gratified is that the team has remained focused throughout the game, which is a mature performance. We need to continue to believe and keep a little luck. Since January, we have been a little unlucky."

Conte added, "But we still believe that these players deserve praise for their performance in difficult times. We are building an important foundation, and it is exciting to see the fans continue to support us and pursue dreams with the team, but it also gives me a greater responsibility."
