League title all that matters for Conte at Napoli
Napoli go into the final three games of the season as Serie A leaders, and for their fans and manager that is the only focus for now, Antonio Conte said on Saturday.
Conte's side have a three-point lead over Inter Milan, but even after a season which has exceeded all expectations at Napoli, there is constant media speculation over whether the coach will remain at the club next season.
At a press conference before Sunday's home game with Genoa, when Conte was asked if the Napoli fans were asking him questions about his future, his response included the words of a famous Italian song.
"Trust me, the fans in this moment don't ask me this question," Conte said with a smile.
"The fans, apart from thanking me, they ask if we will win. And I answer that we will certainly try, as we are doing. This is their only question.
"The rest? It's boredom, Franco Califano, 'Everything else is boredom'."
Napoli will kick off against Genoa knowing Inter's result away to Torino.
"Regardless, there will be pressure, we have to be good at directing it in a positive manner, as long as it is a help to remain concentrated, have desire and motivation," Conte said.
"I think the final two games we will play at the same time, and that will be even better.
"Playing first, playing later, we know that nothing will change, we have to think about our game."
Conte also gave an update on the injury situation.
"(Stanislav) Lobotka returned to the group yesterday, he trained again today, there is still a fitness test tomorrow morning to make the best decision," Conte said.
"(David) Neres was back training partially yesterday, I think he can be called up for the bench, also to savour the atmosphere again.
"(Alessandro) Buongiorno is still at a standstill and Juan Jesus, who is dying to return, he says he is ready but the doctors are holding him back."
The manager was asked what has been most important for is Napoli side.
"It all depends and starts from the head," Conte replied.

Yildiz shines as Tudor's young Juventus side maintain momentum
PHILADELPHIA :Juventus took a giant step closer to the Club World Cup round of 16 as they beat Wydad Casablanca 4-1 on Sunday thanks to an inspired performance by Kenan Yildiz. The 20-year-old Turkish forward scored twice and played a key role in an own goal, as Igor Tudor's young squad won a fourth consecutive game and extended their two-month unbeaten run to seven matches. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT: Tudor, who took over at Juventus in March following the dismissal of Thiago Motta, has overseen a remarkable turnaround at the Turin club who keep improving thanks to a core of young and talented players. KEY QUOTES: Juventus manager Tudor to DAZN: "It was a different game in terms of pace and timing (than the 5-0 win against Al Ain in their opener). We scored early on, but in football you always have to be careful in every situation, regardless of the result. (Yildiz) will decide how far he can go. He has important qualities at his disposal, he has pace and ideas, as well as a great mentality. Plus, he's a golden boy." Juventus forward Yildiz to DAZN: "They say it was a double, but I think it was a hat-trick. I was the one who kicked the first goal, it deflected but I think the first one was mine too. I hope they change that later. I'm happy with my numbers, but all this is thanks to the team and we want to keep going. I think the second one is my best goal I have scored so far in my career. I think so, when I saw that I could shoot, I thought from that moment I would score a nice goal."

Marc Marquez wins Italian Grand Prix to delight Ducati fans on home soil
SCARPERIA E SAN PIERO, Italy :Ducati's Marc Marquez won the Italian Grand Prix after a dogfight for podium places at the Mugello Circuit on Sunday, taking the chequered flag ahead of his brother Alex to maintain his iron grip on the riders' championship. Gresini Racing's Alex briefly led the race early on before Marc took control, while Fabio Di Giannantonio of VR46 Racing claimed third place after snatching the final podium place from his Italian compatriot Francesco Bagnaia. Bagnaia also led the race in the initial stages but the Italian, who had won the last three races at Mugello, could only finish fourth in front of his home fans. Marc's victory was also the 93rd win of his career across all classes, matching his motorcycle number, and the Spaniard celebrated by planting a Ducati flag in front of the home fans who once saw him as an opponent when he was with Honda.

Suspensions not a concern for River Plate's Gallardo after Monterrery draw
LOS ANGELES :River Plate coach Marcelo Gallardo is confident he can still field a team capable of defeating Inter Milan in his side's final Group E game at the Club World Cup despite losing several players due to suspension. Gallardo saw Kevin Castano sent off in the latter stages of Saturday's 0-0 draw at the Rose Bowl with Monterrey, while yellow cards for Enzo Perez and Giuliano Galoppo mean the pair will also miss the meeting with the Italians on Wednesday in Seattle. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT River Plate are one of South America's most successful clubs, winning the Copa Libertadores on four occasions as well as the Intercontinental Cup in 1986. Their draw with Monterrey means the Argentinians are level on four points with Inter Milan in Group E. The two teams are due to face off in their final group game on Wednesday. Monterrey are third in the standings, two points behind Inter and River Plate, and a win over already-eliminated Urawa Red Diamonds from Japan could see the Mexican side climb into the qualification berths for the knockout rounds. KEY QUOTES River Plate coach Marcelo Gallardo: "We have some players that we're going to be missing. We, of course, had some yellow cards and there are several players who won't be able to play in the next game, so we will have to see how we organise that. "But I see the glass as half full because, if you look at the scores, every club, every team has had it's problems. It was hard for Inter to win, it was hard for Monterrey too, so for our third game we're going to go with the best we have and we're going to be optimistic. "Today we deserved to win. Our level was better, and for the next game we will do the same."
