""It's definitely disappointing. When these situations happen, they never happen by chance," Conte told Sky. "Last year we won the league with just a few players. They outdid themselves by being compact and staying united as a team. This year we have more games and brought in more players. "Nine (signings) was too many for me but we had to do it. There's no need to despair.""
""We've a lot of work to do. We have to try to recreate the chemistry that we had last year. When you bring nine new faces into a dressing room, it's going to take time.""
Napoli endured a difficult week after a 1-0 Serie A loss at Torino followed by a 6-2 Champions League defeat to PSV in Eindhoven.

Despite unrest, Napoli sit third, level on points with Inter and one behind AC Milan. Inter have won seven consecutive competitive games under Cristian Chivu and regained confidence. Tomorrow's match between two title favourites will be a key indicator of both teams' trajectories. Alex Meret is set to return and Rasmus Hojlund is hoped to be fit.
