Following Napoli's important 1-0 victory over Monza, which brought them level with Inter Milan at the top of the Serie A standings, the team's coach, Antonio Conte, spoke about his feelings after the match and touched on several important aspects in his statements.

Conte said: "We tried to control the game using a double playing strategy, but we couldn't attack strongly in the penalty area. In the second half, we adjusted the plan by bringing in Anguissa and Raspadori, and the change was positive."

He added: "On paper, matches may seem easy, but the pressure was significant. This is the first challenge for our players in the title race, and it's wonderful to be part of this unexpected competition."

He continued: "Being at this stage is certainly unexpected and amazing for what we are achieving. It is an honor for these players, and I am happy that we are disturbing everyone in the title race."

Conte went on: "I have adapted well in Naples, and my family has too. The Napoli fans make me feel like part of the team, which is priceless. We need to live in the present, and I feel a lot of openness and ambition from everyone here."

He concluded his statements by saying: "When Conte is hired, everyone expects you to be in first or second place. It's not enough just to compete for European qualification, and if the necessary means are not available, I will not accept anything less than that."
