The derby della Madonnina is upon us and Antonio Conte is keeping his guard up. During the pre match press conference, Inter's manager praised his opponents:"Milan are much better than the point total they have. Ibrahimovic brought experience and confidence. We must be foucused on the match and the points. Winning the derby is worth three points and the match is very felt. At the end of this cycle of matches, we'll know a lot more about our journey"
Conte addressed the status of two significant players:"Handanovic? You know very well that the doctor will provide a report. I don't like to talk about injuries, it's appropriate for the doctor to do so. We are happy to have a player like Eriksen. He has specific attributes, we acquired him because we know he can fit our ideas of play. It's very important to work with him offensively and defensively. He has entered a brand new world"
Conte was asked about recent transfer window:"We looked for solutions for our squad. The Premier League has many very good players, we acquired three of them in January, we are lucky because they are doing well, but their was a tactical motivation for their acquisition"
