Today he spoke again Antonio Conte, who was silent from the post match of Atalanta-Inter. The Nerazzurri coach gave a long interview to the microphones of the Gazzetta dello Sport, touching various topics related to current events and beyond: “I’m a hammer, I know, but that’s the only way to grow. We have done a lot, we still have to do a lot. I accepted the job at Inter knowing I had to fill the accumulated gaps. I work with this mantra every single day ”.
On his experience at Inter so far: “I live Inter 24 hours a day, non-stop, with one goal: to help the club return to the top clubs, where history wants it to be. Final victory is never predictable or guaranteed, it is created through a long path made of passion, work, effort, sacrifice, attention to detail. I have always worked in my career in this way, and when one day, I hope far away, I will go away, of one thing I am sure: the Inter I will leave will be, from all points of view, better than the one I have found. As has always happened in every club where I have been. Faithful to a warning dear to the All Blacks in rugby: when you arrive you find a shirt, when you leave you leave it better than ‘you found “.
On the generous perceived engagement: “What I earn determines what I have done in my career. Nobody gives you anything in football. I know that so many hopes are placed because I am here and I accept it. We have been coming for years in which in Italy there is an absolute dominating team. And when that happens that team digs a ditch between her and the others, creates a gap. Who often chases instead of fighting to fill it, has adapted to be the first among the latter. Without working on all those details that lead you to really improve in everything. You see the result of the field. But matches are won during the week and to do so, everything needs to work. When I came to Inter I didn’t know anything … Neither the structures, nor the environment, nor the members of the club, nor the health sector. It took a while to understand and make myself understood. Now I know everything and everyone, and that’s a big plus. Many things have changed in one year: the fields, the guesthouse, the structures, the habits. The club and those who work for Inter support me and … support me (smiles, ed). And we are improving together “.
Finally he comments on the market and on Eriksen: “The coaches are never completely satisfied, don’t you know? He will never find one, trust me … Each of us has some situation to fix, some role that he wanted to cover differently, some man to adapt. It was a difficult market for everyone. Both in buying and selling. The company was clear: you make a market with what you collect. My task is to work and improve the squad that is made available to me. Eriksen? All the choices I make are always and only for the good of Inter, not for that of the individual player ”, he concluded.
