Inter coach Antonio Conte summed up
– Inter dominated the game, but the score was 0: 0 …
– I have a positive outlook on this game, because the team played with the right intensity and attitude. We had a great match, but we were not lucky. We showed a very good game in both halves and created big problems for Shakhtar.
It’s a very technical and fast team, but my guys played very well. We deserved to win this game, but despite the result, I’m happy because we’re on the right track.
We want to show a good game in every match without looking back on the result, whoever our opponent is.
– Inter this season looks much better than last …
– We have a year of work behind us, the team has gained experience and confidence in itself. Now we press normally, we press in each area of the field, without leaving free ball for the opponent.
We hardly defended ourselves against Shakhtar, so I am quite happy. We play zero, we control the game. Of course, we did not score, so I must apologize. But I can’t blame my players for that. We have a very tight schedule, we play 4 games in 10 days. Parma and Real are ahead, so let’s think ahead.
– After defeating Shakhtar 5-0 in the Europa League, did you expect the opponent to play defense?
– Against Real, they played the same game, but failed the second half. Then they scored three goals in a counterattack, while today we play compact.
Today Shakhtar played closer than in that UEL semi-final, so we had fewer chances.
However, given this development of events, I am satisfied with the performance of my team. This is the correct mindset. We want to show ourselves in all areas and we are working for it.
