Conte Embarrasses De Laurentiis: Excuses Don't Make Champions and Inter Deserved the Title

Sunday 24-05-2026
Antonio Conte engaged in a direct discussion with Napoli's president Aurelio De Laurentiis regarding the loss of the Italian league title to Inter Milan.

De Laurentiis said: "If we hadn't faced those incidents and injuries, we would have won the league title again."

However, Conte rejected this notion and responded by saying: "I don't agree with you. Inter is a great team and reached the Champions League final last year. We must acknowledge the victories of others and show them respect. Inter deserved the title this year."

De Laurentiis commented again on Inter's European performance, saying: "But they performed poorly in the Champions League this year."

Conte concluded his speech with a decisive message: "But they have taken a step forward compared to us. I regret clinging to these excuses, and I do not like it. We must acknowledge and respect the victories of others, just as we demand their respect for us."
