Napoli coach Conte expects Serie A table shake-out

Napoli currently top the standings and Conte says a number of challengers will soon be gone.

“We have to be realistic and recognize that we are only 13 games into the season and there are six teams within a few points of us,” he said.

“It's a very even distribution so far, I don't think it will stay that way until the end.”

“It will take a little longer before the end of the first half of the season, but we are happy. It shows that we are doing well and that we continue to lay important foundations every day.

“I see continuous growth as a team, but also as an individual. The team has grown a lot on an individual level compared to the preseason. The credit goes to the guys who want to improve.”
