Inter coach Antonio Conte has waged war on the world as he looks to galvanize his squad after their early elimination from the Champions League, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.

The report details how the 51-year-old Italian coach highlighted how many people were looking to attack the Nerazzurri after their disappointing exit from Europe earlier this week, suggesting that those in the Inter world “compact.”

Conte knows now that many will expect him to guide Inter to a league title this campaign, considering that they are now playing less games than their title race rivals, and so has already started to build a siege mentality, which can be effective in a title race.

A win against Cagliari today is crucial for the squad to show their response to the painful 0-0 draw with Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday.

Inter are currently third in the Serie A table after 10 games, sitting on 21 points from six wins and three draws, as well as a loss to rivals AC Milan.
