Antonio Conte, Inter Milan coach, confessed that he had the opportunity to coach Real Madrid “but it was not the time”, he returned praise to his old teammate Zinedine Zidane and focused on the decisive match that his team faces “without fear “at the Alfredo di Stéfano stadium.
“I am focused on Inter, on a project in which I am very excited, creating something important in a strong club. In the past I had the opportunity to coach Real Madrid but it was not the time. I am also grateful for what they offered me It was in a couple of moments but the season had already started and it would have been difficult to enter like that, “he admitted.
Focused on a key duel against Real Madrid in the third day of the Champions League, Conte will not be able to count on his star Romelu Lukaku and discarded the Chilean Alexis Sánchez. “He returned to training today for the first time with us on Monday,” he said.
He needs a goal and looks for solutions. “It is difficult to find a single reason, we need to continue working on it because it is not a problem that is only for the forwards. The ratio between the chances we create and those we score is not good,” he lamented.
Against Real Madrid, he expects a final, as Zinedine Zidane qualified the match. “Every Champions League game is because you need points. We play against a strong team, built to win the competition and this is shown by their history. It will not be easy for either team. We know that we are going to suffer and if we know how to do it we can achieve something important. We are not going to stand in a corner to be punched. We will face them without fear, with humility but without fear. ”
Finally, he returned the praise that an old teammate like Zinedine Zidane gave him: “I have an exceptional memory of him, not only for what he was on the field but as a great man. I remember him working first despite being a Such a talented player and always with a smile. I am happy with what he has won as a coach. “
