**Naples, Italy** – Napoli manager Antonio Conte has urged his players to enjoy their current Serie A position without succumbing to the pressure of the title race, ahead of a crucial clash against league leaders Inter Milan on Saturday. Currently one point behind Inter, Napoli are aiming to build on their 2022-23 title win and overcome a disappointing 10th-place finish last season.
Conte expressed pride in Napoli’s position but stressed the importance of managing pressure effectively. He emphasized the need for his players to savor the moment, highlighting their hard work as the foundation of their success. The match against Inter is seen as highly influential, with three crucial points at stake in a tightly contested league.
However, Napoli will be without key midfielder André-Frank Zambo Anguissa due to a calf injury sustained in their recent loss to Como. Conte remained tight-lipped about Anguissa’s replacement, stating he had 24 hours to decide between Billy Gilmour and Philip Billing. He highlighted the challenge of managing injuries and finding solutions within the squad.
On a positive note, Conte confirmed the return of left backs Mathias Olivera and Leonardo Spinazzola, both having recovered from their respective injuries. He indicated that both players are fit and available for selection, with a final decision pending on their starting positions. The match promises to be a thrilling encounter in the Serie A title race.
