Antonio Conte is visibly satisfied after the 3-1 win against Inter. “We prepared for every little detail ahead of this game, we knew exactly what to do regardless of whether they would man-mark Pirlo or not. The only negative is the conceded goal that made us a bit nervous, and this is exactly why I keep shouting like a madman even when my team is three-nil up. After the goal a lucky situation for Inter would have been enough to put us in real difficulties for the rest of the game. We always score three goals against top opponents? This is positive, we have the best attack in the league and we could have scored even more goals tonight. Handanovic was impressive and at times we were indecisive in front of the goal, but I prefer to focus on the performance from a wider perspective”.
”Already as a player I enjoyed playing attacking football and you can tell that when I am on the sidelines as a manager aswell: it is better to lose playing attacking football than to wait with eleven players inside your own penalty area”, the Juventus head coach continues. ‘Then it must be said that we do not play with counterattacking players, that is why we study every game carefully to limit the opponent’s strengths and exploit our own. In the attacking phase our wingers are truly pure wingers and they are often as high up as the strikers. You have to examine the different variations of a formation and not just look at the numbers: our 3-5-2 is unique, most teams use the formations to play defensive and then attack on the break”.
Regarding Osvaldo: “It was a possibility that we took advantage of, the player really wanted to play for Juventus and even accepted a wage cut. We are happy to have someonelike him who can improve the quality of our attack even further. We have both the Serie A and the Europa League ahead of us and it was necessary to keep the competition between our attackers alive, since the hierarchy among the players had become too clear”.
Finally, about Guarin: “What did I do? I did.. It was a possibility just like the one with Osvaldo, but suddenly everything was stopped”.
