9:07am, 24 May 2025Football

On the Italian football stage, there are always some stories that can make people excited. In the 2024-2025 season, the legendary chapters between Conte and Naples are undoubtedly the most impressive ones. At the beginning of the season, while Naples fans were still immersed in their vision for the new season, the team suffered a heavy blow. Osmeen and Kvaratshelia (K77), who are regarded as the team's "dual core", left the team one after another. Before the start of the season, Osmeen went to Galatasaray on loan. At that time, the hearts of the fans seemed to be squeezed. You know, Osmeen is a sharp blade on the team's forward line. His speed and impact are important reliances for Naples' offense. In the middle of the season, Kvaratskhelia transferred to Paris. This creative winger, his agile dribbling and exquisite passing, made the opponent unable to defend. His departure undoubtedly greatly reduced the team's offensive firepower. For a time, there were many doubts from the outside world. Without these two core players, can Naples still cause waves in the fiercely competitive Serie A stadium?

But Conte stood up, the coach with steely will and excellent coaching ability, like a magical magician, bringing new hope to Naples in seemingly desperate situations.

Conte knew very well that the team had lost the absolute core of the offense and had to make changes. So, he began to carefully polish the team's tactical system, emphasize teamwork, and tap the potential of every player. On the training ground, he practiced tactics over and over again, patiently guiding the players how to run and cooperate. His tactical philosophy is like a seed, slowly taking root in the hearts of the players.

New aid Lukaku was entrusted with an important task and became a bridgehead on the front line. Conte formulated a series of tactics for Lukaku based on his characteristics. Lukaku did not disappoint the coach's trust, and he showed a strong fulcrum role and a sense of smell in front of the goal on the front line. Every time he receives a pass from his teammate, he can use his strong body to steadily protect the ball under the double-team of the opponent's defensive players, creating offensive opportunities for his teammates. At the critical moment, his shooting ability provided Naples with a stable firepower output.

In the midfield, McTominay quickly integrated into the team. He ran tirelessly, built a solid barrier on the defensive end, successfully stealing again and again, and resolved his opponent's offense again and again. And when attacking, he can also actively participate and use precise passes to deliver shells to forward players. The tacit cooperation between him and other midfielders made Napoli’s midfield run very smoothly.

Throughout the season, Napoli players were like a group of closely united soldiers, led by Conte, and launched an attack on the Serie A championship trophy. Every fight, every pass, every shot they make on the field is full of desire for victory.

In the last round of Serie A, Napoli faced Cagliari at home. This game is of great significance to Naples. As long as they win, they can be crowned the fourth championship in the team's history league. At the beginning of the game, Naples showed strong attack power, and the players were actively running on the court, constantly looking for offensive opportunities.

Just 5 minutes into the second half, Lukaku scored a key goal, basically securing the victory. He celebrated shirtlessly after scoring the goal, with an expression of excitement on his face, which was the joy of victory and the best reward for his own efforts. In the end, Naples defeated Cagliari 2-0 and successfully won the Serie A championship.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the entire Maradona Stadium was boiling. The fans cheered and they had been waiting for this moment too long. The players hugged each other excitedly, tears and sweat intertwined. And Conte, the hero behind the scenes, stood on the sidelines, and looked at all, with a gratifying smile on his face. The champion

means a great significance to Conte. He became the first coach to lead three different teams to win Serie A, and his coaching career added another highlight. He proved with practical actions that even if he lost his core player, he could still lead the team to the top. His tactical arrangements, his trust in the players, and his adjustments at critical moments have all become key factors in Naples' championship.

And for Naples, this championship is even more of a rebirth. After losing Osmeen and Kvaratshelia, they did not recover, but under the leadership of Conte, they regained their glory. This championship is a victory of the team spirit and the result of every player's efforts.

In this challenging season, Naples wrote its own legend with perseverance and unity. And Conte, this magical coach, will be remembered forever in the long history of Naples. In the future, we have reason to believe that under the leadership of Conte, Naples will continue to shine its own light in European football.
