After the loss against Inter, Juventus’ coach Antonio Conte reflected on the game: “In the summer, I have often lost matches against Inter or AC Milan in various tournaments… When the matches and tournaments mean something, as in the league or in the Coppa Italia, then we win, however, and that’s what I’m interested in. We must tackle these matches in a good way, it’s these that help us achieve the goals. We lost on a penalty in a very tight game. Probably I made some simple mistakes, also, the heat and the preparations made the legs a little heavy. It can be like that during this period, but we always want to win. When my president told me to concentrate on the Guinness Cup, we made our preparations a little differently, but in any case, I will concentrate on the league and Coppa Italia, as I always do.”
The coach also talked about his thoughts ahead of the upcoming season: “This season will be difficult for us because everyone sees us as favorites and maybe we will feel too good. It’s difficult to win three championships in a row, as a player, I won a lot but never three league titles in a row. One year we even ended up in the Intertoto Cup, but in those years with Lippi Juve made it to four European finals in a row, three in the Champions League and one in the Europa League.”
