"I don't think so. If you dominate in Italy or England, leagues where Conte has won, it means you're providing something positive in terms of your playing system. In my opinion, it's more of a psychological issue. When you play in European competitions, you have to be convinced of your strength, find a certain calmness and take risks without being afraid to be bold."
"5 - #Napoli have lost five consecutive away games for the first time in their history in the UEFA Champions League/European Cup. Fatigue.#UCL #BenficaNapoli"
Napoli sit second in Serie A, level on points with AC Milan, while struggling in the Champions League after a 2-0 loss to Benfica that left them 23rd of 36 and at risk of missing play-off qualification. Conte has overseen 50 Champions League matches with 17 wins, the fewest among eight Italian coaches to reach that mark. Conte-coached teams show signs of lacking calmness and conviction in European competition, with hesitation to take risks identified as a psychological factor. Domestically Napoli aim to keep pace with Milan; Udinese are positioned 11th.
