Conte: ‘Choosing Inter Was Easy’

Antonio Conte says that “choosing Inter was easy, as they have great tradition and one of the most important histories in the world.”

The Nerazzurri held their first Press conference of the season with director general Beppe Marotta and new Coach Conte.

“Choosing Inter was easy, because we had the same vision. We shared the same ambition, the desire to build something important, albeit knowing it will take a hard and long journey,” the tactician told reporters.

“It’s a club with a great tradition, one of the most important histories in the world, so it was a simple decision to accept.

“I am a person who does not set limits and I don’t want others to, either. That would otherwise just create alibis for everyone going into the season.

“It’s no secret that there’s an enormous gap right now between Inter and Juventus, while Napoli have also shown themselves to be consistent. We’ve got to bridge that gap and start with the ambition to give our very best, so we end the season without recrimination or regret.”

Marotta said Conte was “our real top player” for this season, who can end the trophy drought.

“I thank Marotta for that. I believe this squad has the foundations to create something special. I’ll have to give my support, as I believe I’ve always done in previous jobs. I feel the responsibility on my shoulders towards those who chose me, towards the club and fans. I am ready to carry that responsibility with my players.

“This is the summer, it’s the period of talking, but I feel we have to talk less and work harder. We must be ferocious and focused on our objective, giving stability to the team with a spirit of sacrifice.

“If we want to have an important season as protagonists, then we must have those characteristics. It’s our duty to leave the field every weekend with a shirt soaked through with sweat.”
