In the sixth round of the 2020/21 Champions League group stage in the early morning of Beijing time, Inter Milan made it 0-0 at home to Shakhtar Donetsk. After the game, the club's head coach Antonio Conte was interviewed by the media:
[On whether the team lacks a decisiveness?] 】
"I disagree with that statement. The team did everything that needed to be done. It's unbelievable that we haven't scored in two games in 180 minutes and we're in full control of the game. I don't think the players lack decisiveness, they give it all. We created opportunities, the opponents defended well and luck was on their side. The opposing goalkeeper will be the player who plays best on the field. ”
[On whether the tactics need to be more flexible?] 】
"We need to calm down and then go and analyze the game again, not after the game. We left too many regrets, but I don't think the team lacked determination, focus or aggression, just failed to score. Unfortunately, if you can't score, you can't win the game. Considering the referee's decision and the VAR involvement, we had no good luck in the Champions League. Now that the journey for the group stage is over, I think I can say that VAR is not friendly to us because in many cases the technology is not used. ”
【Regarding whether the substitution adjustment in the game can be made earlier?】 】
"We didn't have much choice. Perisic came off the bench as a wing-back in 60 minutes and Sanchez came on as more than 20 minutes. The team's attack and defense became somewhat unbalanced. Erikson appears when Lautaro is physically weak. We must not forget that Shakhtar Donetsk changed tactics in the Champions League group stage after losing 5-0 to us in the Europa League. This happens when we face every opponent. ”
