"I am worried, I cannot deny it. If a team that is meant to be a protagonist loses five games in all competitions by now, then something is going wrong. We must never forget that last time Napoli won the Scudetto, they collapsed the next season. People seem to believe the ugly duckling can become a swan from one day to the next. The energy has certainly changed here, I don't feel the positive energy we had last season."
"The lads know full well I've been saying this for a while, it saddens me that I have been unable to change this energy in the last four months. It means either I am not doing a good job, or that someone doesn't want to listen to me."
Napoli suffered a 2-0 defeat at Bologna with Thijs Dallinga and Jhon Lucumi scoring in the second half at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. The result dropped Napoli to third in the Serie A standings. Napoli failed to score for a third consecutive match in all competitions, marking their third league defeat of the season and fifth across all competitions. The team ended a Serie A match with fewer than five total shots for the first time since February 2021. Antonio Conte said he was worried, questioned the squad's hunger and energy, referenced the post-Scudetto collapse risk and said he had been unable to change the current atmosphere.
