Antonio Conte, the head coach of Napoli, confirmed that his team deserved more than a 2-2 draw against Roma in the Italian league match, emphasizing that the identity of European participation in the next season will be determined during the remaining matches.
Conte said: "Coming back twice against Roma was not easy, and I believe if it were a boxing match, we would have won on points."
He added: "It was an enjoyable match played at a high tempo with great pressure from both teams, it was an English-style encounter, and we need to continue working because we are building our future in the next thirteen matches."
He continued: "What we will achieve next season will be determined by what we do in these matches and the European competition we qualify for. The competition will not be easy, as there are organized teams with resources, but we are pushing our limits."
Regarding the support of the fans, he said: "It is natural to thank the fans, as it is not a given that they acknowledge what we are doing this season. Their message was wonderful because they know we are fighting for Napoli and honoring the jersey despite the difficulties."
He concluded his statements about injuries by saying: "I don't know the exact condition of Amir Rrahmani, but we cannot always talk about injuries. We will focus on what is available to us in the next match, and if a player is not ready, we will find a solution as we are used to."
