Antonio Conte, technician of Inter de Milan, assured this Monday that Sevilla, his rival next Friday in the Europa League final, “has more experience” than the interista team, who will face the duel determined to “surprise”.
Some doublets of the Argentine Lautaro Martinez and from the Belgian Romelu lukaku, together with a goal from Danilo D'Ambrosio, gave Inter Milan a resounding 5-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk on Monday in the semifinals and qualified Inter for this Friday's final in Cologne.
“The final is a satisfaction for everyone. The most important thing is that many of my boys play these games for the first time, they are gaining experience in the Europa League,” he said Conte at the end of the game in statements to the Italian television “Sky Sport”.
“Now we have Sevilla, which is a club of experienceIn the last eight years I think he won four times (three in the last seven and a total of five). They are used to it, but we want to surprise “added.
The Italian coach stressed that he expects his players to leave the field “without regrets” and that, if the match ends with a defeat, it must be because “the rival has been better.”
He also congratulated his squad for the solid performance this Monday, against an opponent for whom he had a lot of respect.
“We were good at not letting them play, we made them look less good than they are. We made them run, we made them defend, which is something they don't want to do. It is difficult for Brazilian players to defend. We played with courage and I am satisfied for my boys, because they played a European game with the right attitude, “he said.
