Napoli suffered a 0-2 defeat against Lazio, prompting head coach Antonio Conte to reflect on the team's performance and his own shortcomings. Conte admitted that he failed to recognize the squad's deteriorating condition following a disappointing draw against Parma. He noted that despite having 70% possession, Napoli did not register a single shot on target, indicating a lack of quality in midfield. Conte described the loss as a 'kick to the teeth' but framed it as a lesson rather than a crisis, urging his players to learn from the experience. He also addressed comments made by Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis about his future, stating that he prefers to handle such matters privately rather than publicly. Conte remains optimistic about the team's chances for Champions League qualification, asserting that the work is not finished yet.
