Inter-Lazio, Antonio Conte: ‘Bravo Eriksen. And the derby with Milan …

We saw him cheer with his boys as if he were still a player, to the height of joy at Inter’s fundamental success. Despite this, Conte struggles in front of the cameras to show the smile of the big occasions: “How good are you up there in the rankings? It was our goal, we had been chasing it for a while. We did it tonight, beating an excellent team like Lazio which I congratulate, ”he explains to Sky at the end of 3-1 over Lazio. And again: “They came back from six consecutive victories in the championship, the victory confirms that we are doing well. For us, this should be a starting point and not a finishing point: getting to the derby first is better. It will be a fascinating match between two teams with great ambitions ”.

Romelu, cheers and pride

On Lukaku and Eriksen, Antonio said: “Romelu, like everyone else, responded in a great way after a boring performance: there was still talk of the post-derby controversy … Very good him. Ditto Lautaro, the defenders, Perisic who played in a remarkable way… Today it is difficult to praise anyone in particular: I applaud everyone, including Christian who is beginning to understand what we want from him. His performance was excellent: the path is the right one. Anyone should feel like a protagonist, even a Neighbor who has just returned. The aim is to make our fans proud ”. Again on the Danish: “He had some acclimatization problems, it was not easy to understand a particularly tactical football like the Italian: there is a higher intensity than in previous years. He’s adapting to certain situations, we’re trying to try different things and I think he’s played a careful game in both phases. He has an angrier leg, without a doubt for us he represents an extra weapon. And I am serene. “

Here is the “new” Perisic

Applause also for Perisic: “Time has proved us right. We speak of an offensive winger, but he is managing to guarantee coverage. He has a potential that he does not know himself: he was very good behind, he did nothing wrong and I am happy. Returning to Milan, he questioned himself, but if there is quality, the reward can be reaped. Ivan is growing, like Eriksen: so are the options, which were more limited before ”.
