Inter coach Antonio Conte spoke at a press conference on the eve of the Europa League match with Getafe. The Italian promised that the team will take the event and the competition very seriously: “We feel the right level of pressure, like the one we had to finish the league in the best possible way despite the fact that someone else won it. Three games with Genoa, Naples and Atalanta we have shown that we are growing and I am very happy. Hopefully tomorrow we will take another step forward. “
The team played a perfect match in Bergamo. Did you reach the level of maturity that you asked for?
I think we reaped less fruit than we have sown, although finishing with 82 points and second place means having a good championship, with great improvements. Now we are playing this tournament: we are ready, we know that a tough opponent awaits us and that it will be a 'dirty' match, but we have the right mindset. “
What rival is Getafe?
We studied him, before the greats he played unspectacular games in which, however, his rivals suffered to get good results. They look for long passes, they work with divided balls, the forwards are physically strong and help in the defensive phase and in the transitions. We are going to have to show that we deserve to qualify.
Can the Europa League accelerate your growth?
Winning helps you win, there is nothing more to say. Victories carry self-esteem and it is not a discovery, but it is never easy to do. So yes: succeeding would help growth at all levels, individual and collective.
