Inter coach Antonio Conte discussed his work with the Nerazzurri and his career so far in an interview in today’s paper edition of the French magazine L’Equipe, with his words being noted by Italian media outlet Gazzetta.it.
“The competition is a battle and when you go to fight, there is no reason to laugh or be happy. I’m very focused on the fact that in the end only one should remain standing and I do everything I can to make it my team. It’s my way of being and it will bring me to end my career soon, because I live my job too much.”
The 50-year-old Italian then spoke about his mindset early in his coaching career.
“I had set myself a great goal, right from the start, to coach a great club within three or four years, otherwise I would have stopped. However, it must be worth it. I often wonder if it’s right to spend so much time away from my family. You can do a lot of things in football, but the only thing not to sacrifice your family.”
Finally, Conte showed how serious he takes his role, including coaching the players in their personal lives as well.
“During the season, the intercourse should not last long, you have to make the least effort possible, so staying under the partner.”
