Sitting in second place, but with their eyes set on reaching the first spot, Inter manager Antonio Conte spoke to the press before the team's match against Udinese.
"We are ready, and we have a lot of satisfaction given from the Coppa Italia victory over Fiorentina. The market? I told you all the first day, if we were to sell someone then new acquisitions would arrive. This is what happened, I was sincere and honest, a prophet."
"Is Eriksen a great '10' like Zidane? No, they have different characteristics: Christian has quality and vision, he's a finisher. He was playing little with Tottenham, but I found him physically discrete. He's entering into our idea of football and he understood it quickly. We are happy to have him here. He, Moses and Young convinced from my Chelsea? I won the Premier League in my first year and an FA Cup in my second, it's not an easy thing. In Klopp's fourth year, he still hadn't won anything in England. I am happy that these three players wanted to come and they're integrating well. Christian especially is a great acquisition. He chose us, it means that Inter is viewed well abroad."
"We'll see if we will be ready for all competitions. I like the players that I train, they're especially great men. Brozovic had his first training yesterday, he will be with us at Udine but we will evaluate. Sanchez or Esposito will player in attack. Both can do well, but I'll choose who will give me more guarantees. The absence of Lautaro is heavy, he integrated very well with Lukaku. He who played less, now must show he's able to perform."
"Juventus and Lazio? I don't like to speak about other teams, we must only think about ourselves. I am happy to work here and for what we're doing, the people appreciate us. It means that we're leaving something and that we transmit passion. Now an important cycle of matches await us, I hope that there won't be injuries like the first months."
