At 18:30 Beijing time on April 11, Inter Milan will play Cagliari at home in the 30th round of the 2020/21 Serie A season. Before the match, Antonio Conte held a press conference to answer questions from reporters.
Cagliari have a good squad, they shouldn't be in their current position, they have a lot of motivation to fight tomorrow. What kind of game are you looking forward to? 】
"Look at the players Cagliari has and you'll be surprised at how they are in the standings. We expect it to be a tough game because Cagliari will give everything for relegation. ”
【What kind of Inter Milan will we see tomorrow?】 】
"You'll see our game plan tomorrow and what we're preparing for."
[Will this be a chance to take a break from certain players and give others some time?] 】
"We are about to enter a crucial phase of the season. This is our third game in seven days and I will try to make the best choice, sending a competitive squad that can go on the pitch and win. We've had two tough games against Bologna and Sassuolo, but we're ready; the team is good and we'll try to play well and take all three points. ”
[You will face Naingran tomorrow.] Is it a pity that he did not get the same treatment as Perisic and Eriksen? 】
"I would like to thank Raja (Naingran) for his time with us and for giving me the opportunity to coach him. Then, the choice has been made, but what we need to consider is now. It's nice to see him again, but we also need to be careful because the players always have a little extra motivation against their old clubs. ”
【What do you think of the controversy caused by your remarks about the gym?】 】
"As always, I'm thinking about it now and trying to do something extraordinary. We need to continue to focus on that, and I think people need to talk about Inter milan as well, because there's no point in just talking about the future. You just have to focus on the present and give the lads a thumbs up for their performance. ”
[You won the league in your first season in charge of Juventus, kicking off an incredible dynasty.] At Chelsea, you also won the Premier League title in your first season. How do you evaluate the work you're doing now compared to other places? 】
"In any case, we haven't achieved anything yet. We have regained our aura for Inter milan and are currently considered a competitive team in both Italian and European football. Considering that last season we advanced to the Europa League final, which is the best record for an Italian team in recent years. Now, we only need to take the last few steps, which is the most important. We want to do it, but we know that disappointment may be just around the corner. My experience has taught me to only think about the present and enjoy the present because we just have to shut our mouths and move on, and then it's time to talk about the great things to do in the future. We're not going to make any arrogant claims because we haven't won any trophies yet. “
What does this team need to know the most? 】
"Don't give your opponent too much space. Any slight slack will leave a chance for the team behind them. I've been reversed to win and I've been reversed when I'm leading, so the most important thing you can do is keep winning because the team that's catching up will give up sooner or later. “
What's the hardest thing you've had at Inter in the last two years and what's the most satisfying thing for you? 】
"Coming to Inter for any reason was my toughest decision, but I'm not one who likes to stay in my comfort zone. I never lied in the past and never gave up. I love to compete, and Inter has allowed me to achieve that. I had something to lose, both then and now, but I had a strong determination to break the shackles. “
