Inter's first test after returning from the international break will be to face Sassuolo, a team that has given fits to the nerazzurri, who have lost 7 of their last 9 matches against them. Antonio Conte previewed the match in his press conference: "We worked very well during the break, I am calm because I saw the great determination both in training and in the match. We still can lose, but we will always hold onto the desire to improve. We are all very upset about the injury to Alexis Sanchez, he was making his way back and he offered so much to us. He had been regaining his form before the injury hit. But I have faith in the entire squad, we will approach the situation with our chests out and ready to battle."
"Sassuolo? Their football is excellent, I have only applause for them. There's also a lot of sadness for the loss of Squinzi. Juventus? We gave a solid performance, not just a flash. We must continue to have consistincy in our performances, getting better one day at a time. Esposito? He will not go to the U17 World Cup but I don't understand the controversy over it. Viscidi, who was in the same role when I coached the national team, was here three weeks ago and was advised of this possibility. This is a player who has grown a lot and one we will not be afraid to play."
