Antonio Conte is gearing up for a significant match at San Siro as Napoli faces Inter in Serie A. Conte, who previously led Inter to break Juventus's dominance by winning the Scudetto in the 2020-21 season, now manages Napoli. His current team sits atop the Serie A standings with 25 points from 11 matches, just one point ahead of Inter.

Reflecting on his time at Inter, Conte expressed fond memories of his two successful years there. "It was a wonderful experience that I carry within me, like all the past ones that I lived to the fullest," he stated. Despite this nostalgia, Conte is focused on maintaining Napoli's lead in the league.

Napoli's recent form hit a snag with a 3-0 loss to Atalanta, marking their first defeat in Serie A this season. Their record against Inter has been less than stellar, with only one win in their last ten encounters. Conte is determined to avoid consecutive losses and emphasised the importance of securing three points against a formidable opponent.

Conte stressed that Napoli will not approach the game passively. "We are not going to San Siro to wave the white flag before starting," he said. The team is preparing thoroughly for this crucial test against one of the strongest teams in Serie A.

Romelu Lukaku's recent performance has been under scrutiny, with only one goal in four games. However, Conte dismissed concerns about Lukaku's form, stating that focus should be on the team's overall growth rather than individual players. "Lukaku's growth depends on the growth of the team," he noted.

The upcoming clash at San Siro presents an opportunity for Napoli to measure their progress and maintain their position at the top of Serie A. Conte remains confident in his team's commitment and readiness for this important challenge.
