“Milan, too, and not forgetting Roma. It makes me think that victories are underestimated. Roma are a great team, they showed it at Tottenham’s home, who I also know very well and have a squad that is in contention to fight for the Premier League.
“Fiorentina and Lazio there as well, Italian football has grown significantly and now it has to demonstrate it against strong teams in Europe. Congratulations to them all, it’s part of a journey that we would like to add to tomorrow.”

Conte on Napoli-Torino and Kvaratskhelia
Conte also provided an update on his team, their key players and the form of Torino ahead of Sunday’s Serie A match.
On Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the coach said: “Khvicha is growing massively in terms of determination and desire. He was disappointed because he had two good chances to score and help us a bit more in managing the final stages, but he is a guy who really wants to grow, he is only 23.”

Explaining how he motivates his Napoli players, Conte added: “What I say to you and what I say to the boys is that the opposing team will never arrive after you. We have to improve significantly, in the final third, in our decision making, in our quality, the way we attack, our nastiness.
“We have been working on it for a while and this is an aspect we have to improve. But after every training session, I’m always pleased with the boys’ application. They always give 200%.”
And, on Sunday’s opponents, Torino, he said: “They’re having a difficult spell. But I have seen the losses, I’ve analysed the last six to eight matches. They starter well, then they lost Zapata through injury, who was performing at a very good level. But, they have a solid group, good guys and are comfortable in the middle of the table despite going so long without a win.
“I’ve lived in Turin, almost every Sunday I had the pleasure of going to see their games and it is an environment I know well, it’s nice and warm, strong supporters and respectful of history. We will have to be very careful, it’s a game we have to manage in the best possible way, with respect for our opponent’s quality and the atmosphere we will find ourselves in.”
