Antonio Conte, after several days of silence, he decided to talk again to explain the reasons for his separation from Inter and his own sharp no to Tottenham’s offer. In the middle, a couple of arrows.
First of all, the former Inter coach returned to his decision not to continue the relationship with the club that he brought back to the top of Serie A: “I can only say that my project has never changed”, his words to the Gazzetta dello Sport.
Then a clear and direct response to Massimo Moratti, guilty of having attacked him for his lack of attachment to the Nerazzurri colors: “We spoke on the phone and the president apologized for those phrases that did not represent his real thoughts. Anyone who knows me, not just him, knows what attachment I have always had for the colors I have represented ”.
Antonio Conte clearly reiterated what his way of working is: “I don’t play to participate, I play to win. They call me for this. They all expect victory from me and do not give me discounts. The judgments change if I’m on the bench ”.
There is also an explanation for the no to Tottenham: “In general, I like challenges and I have shown that I have always accepted a lot of them, because even the big clubs I had never started as favorites when I took them. But if there is something that does not convince me, I prefer not to accept or not to continue, beyond any proposed or left engagement “.
A joke also on Euro 2020 and on the new adventure he is about to undertake Mancini’s team: “Roberto is doing a great job, not only the results say it: he has managed to create a convinced, enthusiastic and cohesive group. A collective that believes in it and gives everything. It is not easy”.
