After missing scoring opportunities in both the first and second half, Napoli could only draw 0-0 with Parma in the 37th round of the 2024/25 Serie A. Conte said that this was the most difficult season in his coaching career and he felt deeply exhausted during this period.

After failing to get all three points in this game, Napoli currently ranks first in the standings with 79 points. However, Inter Milan was tied 2-2 by Lazio in this round of the league and ranked second in the standings with 78 points, which means that Napoli does not have an advantage in the fight for the championship, and the ownership of the championship will be revealed after the last round.

Napoli coach Conte said in an interview, "We are only one step away from the championship, and this final step will be taken at our home stadium and completed with the support of the fans. This has been an extremely difficult season, but we have achieved the original goal, which is to pose a threat to the top position. Despite the difficulties, we have never complained and always persisted, and now we are only one step away from creating incredible history and achievements for Napoli."

“We took our performance for granted despite all the difficulties. We were missing Lobotka, Buongiorno and Juan Jesus and we had injuries but we still managed to be competitive. We didn’t have many players on the bench for this game so I have to praise the players for giving not only their physical strength but also their heart and soul. I hope we can win the title, that would be the most wonderful reward.”

Conte also said, "This is the most difficult season in my coaching career. We had to adjust the lineup in the second half of the season, and change the formation and tactics. I took a year off before, and during that time I was able to study more tactical changes."

"I have to work seven days a week. If I have to participate in a game every three days, this intensity of work is simply impossible. We were already short of personnel, and now at the end of the season we have almost exhausted everything. But we must persevere, because the championship and the goal are within reach."

In addition, Napoli will host Cagliari in the last round of the league. Conte also added, "I have given my all and pushed my limits. I admit that I am exhausted. Napoli has always been full of passion and enthusiasm, but here there are also expectations and pressures that far exceed reality."

“I felt a huge responsibility from the beginning, and as the season progressed, we realized that we could really hold on until the very end.”
