Napoli head coach Antonio Conte will be relieved that his side had a comfortable night in their 4-0 win over Cremonese, after bouncing back from last weekend\u2019s bitter defeat to Lazio.<\/p>\n

Speaking to DAZN after the match, via TuttoMercatoWeb, Conte looked a happy man thanks to his team\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

\u2018I had no doubts about the team\u2019s response. We didn\u2019t hit the target against Lazio. Nothing went right. Today there was great determination and a desire for revenge,\u2019 the coach said.<\/p>\n

Conte claims \u2018After Lazio, there was too much excessive criticism for a team that won the league and the Super Cup and is still in second place.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Despite,\u2019 he continued, \u2018still missing four players like Di Lorenzo, Neres, Lukaku and Vergara.\u2019<\/p>\n

Napoli 4-0 Cremonese \u2013 Conte: \u2018We\u2019re happy, we had fun and we\u2019re second\u2019<\/h2>\n

He admitted it has been a \u2018difficult season\u2019 but \u2018I told the lads we needed to end the season as strongly as possible, and work on our communication.\u2019<\/p>\n

When asked about McTominay\u2019s ideal position, after another commanding performance in a more advanced role, Conte was clear.<\/p>\n

\u2018Let\u2019s not forget that we had to force McTominay\u2019s central midfielder option because only he and Lobotka were left. I think that\u2019s his position, because he can play box-to-box, and we worked with him on building with the other midfielder.\u2019<\/p>\n

He also praised Brazilian winger Alisson, \u2018who was also important and confirmed he\u2019s growing,\u2019 the coach said, \u2018and I think Gutierrez also had a great performance.\u2019<\/p>\n

He concluded his comments on the match in an unusually jovial spirit: \u2018We\u2019re happy, we had fun, and we\u2019re second while waiting for the results of the others: these are three crucial points for the Champions League.\u2019<\/p>\n

Napoli must now prepare for next weekend\u2019s difficult trip to Como, albeit one that could mathematically book their place in next season\u2019s Champions League.<\/p>\n
