Inter manager Antonio Conte spoke to the media ahead of Sampdoria-Inter at a press conference. Here is what he said: "Sampdoria is a very organized team. We studied them, it's the classic game where you have a lot to lose. Will there be rotation? For us this game against Sampdoria is the game of our lives, not those that will come after. Lukaku? He is part of the roster. Only five games have been played, we are happy with the work of the guys but we must continue with the same desire. It takes continuity in the results."
"Strong defense? We need to talk about the team as a whole, not just a part. The important thing is to have balance. It's difficult to compare to the past, there are different situations. There are teams that are ahead of us. Today Juventus and Napoli are ahead of us in an important manner, but this doesn't need to change. The quality of the league has risen."
"Highs and lows? Even two years ago Inter were first in December. The good horses you see at the finish line. I have already spoken with Sanchez many times. He is a player with determined characteristics, we must make him get back to his brilliance which has been lost a little during the last two years. Sooner or later he will start games."
