There’s a raging dialectical war going on between Napoli manager Antonio Conte and Inter Milan president Beppe Marotta.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the ex-Nerazzurri boss continues to tease his former chief amid an intense Scudetto battle.
Indeed, a heated exchange has been back and forth since Inter and Napoli drew 1-1 in last month’s top-table six-pointer.
Conte lashed out at the referees for awarding the Nerazzurri a controversial penalty immediately after the game.
Naturally, Marotta felt compelled to respond.
And the debate has only gained momentum ever since.
However, it’s worth noting that both parties have taken a polite way, carefully measuring every word.
In fact, they’ve been showering each other with praise, repeatedly naming the opposite camp the Scudetto favorites.

Conte has resorted to his old bag of tricks after Marotta praised him for his undeniable coaching skills.
In an attempt to relieve his team of the pressure, the highly decorated manager switches the favoritism to Inter.
However, Marotta has been up to the challenge, repaying the kindness a similar praise.
Meanwhile, four points separate the teams ahead of Match Day 15 after the postponement of Inter’s game against Fiorentina.
