The scudetto race and the disappointment of the elimination from the Champions League, Samir Handanovic described Inter's season so far in a recent interview with Sky Sport:"I'm proud of this group that started out six months ago in China with a new manager and philosophy. We took significant steps forward and we still have a lot of margin for improvement. But more importantly the group moves forward together and only thinks of one thing. Being the captain of this group is a responsibility that I'm proud of"
Inter's captain was asked about his new manager Antonio Conte:"I understood why he makes a difference: what I like about him is that before he demands a lot from others, he demands a lot from himself. He demonstrates this every day, by looking at the pitch and evaluating everyone's level of sacrifice".
