Italian journalist Sandro Piccinini discussed Inter coach Antonio Conte and Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo in an interview in yesterday’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.
The journalist spoke about which coaches he is looking forward to asking questions to.
“Conte because he’s fiery, after the game he can’t keep quiet. I would advise him to take a chamomile tea and talk the next day but for us it’s much better this way.
“In the meantime, tomorrow we’ll start with Pirlo, one who knows about exchanges, not only the soft, tense, classic replies, but knows all kinds.”
Conte was not afraid to speak his mind in press conferences and to the media last season, with public complaints about the Nerazzurri’s lack of protection for him and the squad in the media, as well as their poor handling of the threat he received last year.
The 51-year-old Italian coach’s position at the club was confirmed after a meeting with Inter management upon the conclusion of last season.
Since then, the Milanese club’s transfer policy has changed, to mostly focus on more experienced veterans like Aleksandar Kolarov and Arturo Vidal.
The Nerazzurri finished a bitter one point behind rivals Juventus last season and so Conte is hoping the reinforcements will help him beat the Bianconeri for the Scudetto.
