Antonio Conte, Inter coach, spoke to the microphone after the success against Napoli Sky Sports: “I don’t think Inter lowered themselves to defend and counterattack. We went to take Napoli very high and we tried to do so throughout the match. I always hear talk of counterattacks and counterattacks… We are talking about a team that always knows what to do in possession. It’s a good thing that the opponents fear us more than those who talk”.
What weight does this victory have? “It has an important value. Winning in Naples is never easy for anyone, also considering what Napoli has done in recent years, they have always been behind Juventus while we are increasingly behind. This year we have reduced the gap with them and it is very important. Today there was a match faced with great personality. Increased confidence and self-esteem, we must continue like this, with courage, go and attack them high and try to find verticalizations in the possession phase”.
Are you happy with the defensive phase? “You can improve in all situations, especially when you attack high and have 50 meters behind you, it is possible that some things will not go well. Let's talk about the blanket: if you pull it to one side, it is uncovered on the other. They can be managed, but the opponents also prepare the exits and make memorized situations. Football is invented in the last 30 minutes, but until the last 30 minutes every coach has specific situations, then the talent takes over and tries to resolve the situations. However, I repeat, all situations are prepared, also for the opposition made by the opponents. Napoli did it too”.
