Antonio Conte, the head coach of Napoli, admits that he feels completely exhausted before the final round of the Italian league, confirming that this season is the toughest in his coaching career, as he approaches winning the Scudetto.

Conte said: "We are close to the Scudetto, but we must take the final step. We will play the match at home and among our fans, which gives us a huge morale boost."

He added: "We have achieved what we dreamed of, which is to compete for the title until the last breath. We have been at the top for long periods despite injuries and circumstances, and we never doubted, and here we are now just a step away from a historic achievement."

He continued: "Everything seems normal from the outside, but the truth is that we have missed important players like Lobotka, Bonjiorno, and Juan Jesus, yet we have always been at the top."

He went on: "I didn't have many substitutes today, but those players gave everything. They played with their hearts, not just with their legs. I am proud of them, and I hope we can celebrate this Scudetto."

Regarding the possibility of winning the Italian league title for the third time in his career after Juventus and Inter, Conte said: "Without a doubt, this is the toughest season of my professional life. We faced difficult circumstances and had to change our plans several times. I benefited from a year away from coaching to study tactics and work continuously."

He added: "The team is suffering from a lack of players, but we continued the journey. Now we are very close, and we can feel the taste of victory."

Conte concluded his statements by expressing his disappointment at missing the final match after being sent off in the Parma game, saying: "This saddened me a lot. We have worked all season and deserve to be in the most important match. I trust my coaching staff and my players, and I trust even more in our fans."
