Antonio Conte spoke with Sky, the Juventus coach commented the 1-1 draw like this.
“This game confirmed that Inter can aim for a season in the top and that Juventus is difficult to beat. I saw a Juve that played a very good game in a difficult arena, that has everything to win the title and that doesn’t play the international cups. We will be on the pitch tomorrow, seven games in a month awaits us. I appreciated the work effort and the will to do well; we went down one goal but reacted and could have scored a second one. In the first part of the second half though we could have played more calm and handled the game, considering that we had 7-8 players that came from national duty and we paid the price.”
Did you consider Icardi this summer?
“He is an excellent player and he scores against Juve every time. The next time we will have to pay more attention. Lichtsteiner? I took him off because of the risk of a second yellow. The first one was a bit generous and then it was a bit risky after a contrast because the Inter players went to the ref to get him sent off.”
And now the Champions.
“I’ll rest players when it is good to do so. Today the real objective is the league, where we can do something historic. Against Inter I never considered to do any changes (in advance), also because it is the first game in a series that we have to be careful. Until now there was one game per week, from now on we will try to rotate and rely on those who have played less. Quagliarella for example is very good and I see him in excellent condition. I keep him in consideration because everyone start at the same level.”
And Llorente?
“I follow him closely but I also need to know when to put a player in for him to do well.”
Regarding the hand ball from Vidal in the first half.
“What did he tell me? Honestly we didn’t talk about it. It is a difficult situation but we consider it in a veru calm manner. The refs did a good job and I think that the referees have been perfect so far in the season.
