'Inter are still a long way off' - Conte left frustrated after Coppa Italia defeat to Napoli

Antonio Conte feels Inter's derby victory over Milan took away a lot of "nervous" energy as his side fell to a limp Coppa Italia semi-final first-leg loss at home to Napoli.

The Nerazzurri fought back from two goals down to defeat their rivals 4-2 in a barnstorming Serie A encounter at San Siro on Sunday.

It was a different story on Wednesday night, though, as Inter struggled to get out of second gear and succumbed to a 1-0 loss against the Partenopei thanks to Fabian Ruiz's excellent second-half strike.
