Napoli manager Antonio Conte emphasized that securing a Champions League spot is the team's primary focus, despite being in contention for the Serie A title. Napoli trails leaders Inter Milan by three points with six games remaining. “First of all, we have to earn a place in the Champions League,” Conte said.

Conte urged Napoli's fans to “continue dreaming” of winning the title, but prioritized securing a Champions League spot. “Beyond everything else, we will have the opportunity to get closer to a prestigious goal that could not be foreseen at the beginning of the year,” he added. Conte acknowledged the team's impressive resurgence under his leadership, saying, “We are doing something that goes beyond expectations given what happened last year.”

Napoli manager Antonio Conte emphasized the importance of maintaining momentum in their title bid. “We have to continue to feed it (our dream) with all our strength... It has not been easy so far and there will be other obstacles to overcome,” Conte said.

Conte stressed the need for consistency, saying Napoli “will have to be as good as we have been so far, without excuses.” The team faces a challenge ahead of Saturday's away match against Monza, as Napoli has struggled on the road, failing to win since January with four draws and a loss in their last five games.

“These are irrefutable facts, then the fact is that we are second, three points behind Inter. Even if we haven't won for a while, we haven't lost for a long time - only in Como," Conte said.

"We have many points and we are second, the result of consistency at home and away. Then maybe we can divide the periods, but the regularity is there and only in this way can we achieve the objectives set.

"We don't win away from home and we would like to start winning again, this is always our aim."
