On the eve of the championship derby, the coach ofBury, Antonio Conte, answered questions from journalists at the usual Appiano Gentile press conference.
“Unfortunately, while we were in the field, we received the sad news of the death of Mauro Bellugi. We are very sad and we add to the pain of the family ”.
What derby are you waiting for?
“A different derby than in previous years. Now it is a challenge that concerns the high ranking, two teams that are almost even in the lead. For Milan it is a great satisfaction to have this type of game with them at stake. The derby has to be won by the parochialism and in this case also by the classification ”.
What are the benefits of meeting this challenge first?
“We are calm, I start with the premise that we must always work with the right strength and determination. When the ranking smiles at you, you have to have more energy, more desire to do well ”.
What is the most important message you have transmitted to the team in this game?
“The message is the newspaper, to always give the best of ourselves, seeking excellence and improvement. My advice is always these and they do not change. We are working to build something important and continue on our path of growth. We are facing a strong team, which deserves the ranking it has. We will have to have a great race ”.
Do you foresee a nervous derby given the risks?
“It will be a match in which both teams will try to improve themselves. A great referee has been appointed and let’s not forget that we always talk about sport ”.
Ibra has always scored goals in the last 3 derbies, how will you solve the problem?
“It is solved by working as a team, trying to minimize errors. We are talking about a strong player who is giving a lot to Milan. He scored us in previous games, it is not said that he will also this time. But beyond his goals, we are interested in the result. Winning the derby counts ”.
This week Milan played the Cup and you didn’t, will it weigh?
“So far we have also played every 3 days and spent a lot of energy in the Italian Cup semi-final against Juve, going to Florence two days ago. We can talk about advantages and disadvantages, then there is the field and we must continue working. On the contrary, if we don’t play on Tuesday we will work even harder ”.
Can Eriksen be the man of the derby? Do you see it different?
“I still have three questions that I have with me for tomorrow’s game. As I said, we have seen improvements in Eriksen and now we can work with him even more. He came to meet us and this is good for everyone, especially for me ”.
Does tomorrow become an opportunity to try to escape?
“There are 16 games to go, I do not forget that many before Fiorentina and Lazio, many wrote and wondered how many points we would have achieved in the derby against Milan taking into account that they had Crotone and Spezia. Instead we arrived with one more point, showing how difficult this championship is. After Milan we will have Genoa that is creating problems for everyone and Parma that must be saved. Then it is inevitable that each added victory generates awareness.
Do you have a message for the fans?
“My message is always the same, we will give everything for these colors and for the history of the club. We will do everything possible to make them feel proud of our commitment and self-denial ”.
Skriniar is once again a fundamental point of reference, how did you achieve this growth?
“If we go back, on paper there are many who should have left Inter. They always knew my thoughts, who was in my plans or not. Skriniar is doing very well and our six defenders have found a good harmony and this is our strength. Everyone feels important, Milan I’m coming! That if he surrenders, others could take his place. This honest and fair competition has led Skriniar to grow ”.
Against Lazio he has left his rival more initiative but has been more cynical, do you find this a sign of maturity?
“We were cynical but we lost some great goals. Matches must be played with logic, studying certain situations and understanding how to hurt and hit. Against Lazio we were very good, they came from 6 victories and winning as we did gives awareness. However, we closed that game, now Milan is here and we know how to deal with it ”.
Would you send Lukaku to San Remo?
“First it will be sung tomorrow at San Siro.”
