Jurgen Ekkelenkamp has canceled the opener of Napoli scored by Scott McTominay.
Conte said afterwards: “The difficulties we had were not great opportunities to turn and then Udinese was immediately back in the game after taking the lead.
“It may happen that after 70 minutes you try to introduce some new energy, with different characteristics in attack. I have tried to use all five substitutions, we can't always wait until the 80-85th minute.
“It's a shame, because I think we have earned more than one point tonight. The second half took off slowly, but in the first half we created many opportunities, we checked the game, but if you do not convert those opportunities, this will cause problems.
“Udinese is a very physical team with players of real quality that I think will soon move to large clubs. We did what we always do, pressure on high, but they had players like Lucca who dominate in the air and are always a threat. “
The Italian also said: “I repeat, we just have to look at our own progress. It was a missed opportunity to secure a place in Europe, but even then a draw with Udinese cannot be sniffed.
“We should not confuse reality with what we are doing now, which is really extraordinary. Believe me, it's extraordinary.
“The boys left the field that was empty tonight, they gave everything to win. It was unbeaten our ninth game, so believe me from the heart when I say this is extraordinary. “
