Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti shrugged off their 1-1 draw with Salernitana.
The result delays Napoli's Scudetto celebrations another week.
Spalletti said, Clearly, the lads are so disappointed they couldn't give this joy to the marvellous crowd, but we've sensed for a while these are the most difficult points on a psychological level and they take something from you.
Salernitana are organised, clammed up in defence, which made it more difficult, and then we were a little nave on the goal we conceded.
Even if by chance we should win, it'll give me more pleasure to see the people celebrate, because we sense the affection loud and clear in our ears and minds. We represent their dream, so consequently it is only right they feel that dream."
The title will go to Napoli in the midweek round if they are able to beat Udinese.
We wanted that extra goal to give to them. As far as I am concerned, this just extends the enjoyment, as I am not uncomfortable being in this position at the top of the table. It just carries on the celebration a little longer, as I am convinced we'll get those two points."
Mathias Olivera had Napoli ahead before Salernitana striker Boulaye Dia found an equaliser for the visitors.
