“I experience the match together with my players – both in good and bad moments. We played today against, in my opinion, the best team in Italy. They’ve lost some points along the way, but their lineup is out of reach for anyone else. We won, although we have serious injury problems. It’s not a very lucky year, but we’re trying to answer blow for blow.
Inter came here to kill us – in a sporting sense – against a team in dire straits after two defeats. But we didn’t want to die, and that’s why it turned out such a courageous, strong game. Despite all the difficulties, we were able to play a great match.
The Lautaro incident? When you play in such matches, something like this can happen. The only thing I want to remember is my two years at Inter, when we brought back the Scudetto, ending Juventus’ nine-championship streak. And everyone knows what that means to me. Lautaro is a great player. From a human point of view, I didn’t get to know him well, but I wish him all the best.
The difference between “Napoli” and “Inter” is that they send Marotta or other managers to the press conference, and I go to ours. Big clubs don’t have to create an alibi for themselves – I would never let my managers do that. Marotta has now also become the president, he is making a great career, but let him leave things on the field to those who actually played this match, and do not interfere, because in this way he only belittles the role of the coach. Such official defenses look like… I don’t know what to call it. But it’s okay,” said Conte.
