The moment has arrived, Antonio Conte is set to manage his first Serie A match with Inter. The former Chelsea manager discussed his frame of my mind during the pre match press conference:”It makes me emotional to play against Lecce, the team from my city. The concentration is very high, I’m satisfied with the work, my players understood very well the idea of football we have in mind. The work is what counts, always”
Conte was asked about the objectives for the season:”If we want to achieve important results we have to work. Certainly there’s a gap with Juventus and Napoli, but I always said we can’t set limits on ourselves. Only time will tell what we can fight for, we have to work better than the others: we can say the chase for the scudetto has begun”
Conte was asked about Mauro Icardi:”I don’t think his presence can cause a distraction. I respect everyone, the decision made on the player is clear”.
