Antonio Conte took a stand when Napoli fans tried to make him join in with an anti-Juventus chant. ‘Do not ask me for things I will not do. Let me clear this up once and for all.’
The coach spent most of his career connected to Juve, first as a player with 419 appearances and then a coach, though that bond was severely tested when he took over at Inter and won the Scudetto.
Now he is back in Serie A with Napoli and during an event in the pre-season training camp this evening, the fans tried to get him to join in with an anti-Juventus chant.
However, Conte stood firm and explained his situation to the supporters.
“I will always be a polite and respectful person, so do not ask me for things I will not do, not just for a single team, but for all teams.
“We coaches have to set a positive example. What I can tell you is that you have Napoli’s number one fan right here in front of you.”
The traditional chant is ‘whoever doesn’t jump is a Juventino’ and the response is to bounce around.
I tifosi del Napoli chiedono ad Antonio Conte di cantare “chi non salta Juventino è”, ma la risposta dell’allenatore è negativa 🙅🏻♀️
