Conte's sole focus on Napoli winning Serie A title
Napoli is leading Serie A with three games left to play, and for its fans and manager, that is the only focus for the next couple of weeks.
Antonio Conte's side has a three-point lead over Inter Milan in the title race, but even after a season which has exceeded all expectations at Napoli, there is constant media speculation over whether he will remain at the club next season.
At a press conference before Napoli's next home match, against Genoa, Conte was asked if the clu's fans were asking him questions about his future.
"Trust me, the fans in this moment don't ask me this question," Conte said with a smile.
"The fans, apart from thanking me, they ask if we will win. And I answer that we will certainly try, as we are doing. This is their only question.
"The rest? It's boredom, Franco Califano, 'Everything else is boredom'."
After five consecutive defeats between 2007 and 2009, Napoli has lost only two of its past 28 matches against Genoa in Serie A, winning 18 and drawing eight.
Napoli is also on a four-match winning streak without conceding a goal in Serie A, looking to complete five in a row for the first time in the club's competition's history.
The Partenopei will kick off against Genoa knowing Inter's result away to Torino as it kicks off earlier in the day.
"Regardless, there will be pressure; we have to be good at directing it in a positive manner, as long as it is a help to remain concentrated, have desire and motivation," Conte said.
"I think the final two games we will play at the same time, and that will be even better.
"Playing first, playing later, we know that nothing will change, we have to think about our game."
Conte also gave an update on the injury situation, noting that Napoli could be boosted by some returns.
"[Stanislav] Lobotka returned to the group yesterday, he trained again today, there is still a fitness test tomorrow morning to make the best decision," Conte said.
"[David] Neres was back training partially yesterday, I think he can be called up for the bench, also to savour the atmosphere again.
"[Alessandro] Buongiorno is still at a standstill, and Juan Jesus, who is dying to return, he says he is ready, but the doctors are holding him back."
