Conte: “It makes me laugh that people talk about Madrid's absences”

In the first leg, Zidane spoke of the match as a final. Now do you think about it?

Yes, for us it is a final, we have no alternatives: we have to win. A difficult game awaits us, we know Madrid which team it is, but we also know that if we want to, we can. We show it in the first leg.

What has been the problem in these months?

We haven't made the leap yet, but right now words are worthless. We must grow and assume our responsibilities. There is still time to achieve it, it takes more attention, concentration, more hunger and more desire.

Can the losses in Madrid's spine change your plans?

I don `t believe. Madrid cannot cry for their absences, they have an important squad with many very good players. I am amused that the press talks about their casualties.

Does the criticism of these weeks bother you?

Of course, we always try to make our work negative. However, we knew that from last year. Mentally I was prepared, maybe a player was not, but if you wear an important shirt you should know that there are no middle points. Either it's all pretty, or it's all ugly. The only way not to face speculation, criticism and bullshit is to respond on the field. If we can't bear it, we should choose less important equipment and live a more peaceful life.

Are there chances to see Alexis, Lukaku and Lautaro together from the start?

It could be a solution throughout the game, against teams with a lower level compared to Inter. We are an offensive team, our full-backs are more extreme and our midfielders are offensive. Going out with three forwards would be very difficult, but during games you can create situations to take more risks.

What is the most important thing for your team to do tomorrow?

Win and achieve all three points. We need at least seven to qualify, this match should give us hope. Our group is the most difficult in this Champions League, we deserve more, but if the results did not arrive we must also criticize ourselves.

Handanovic: “We always concede goals because of our mistakes”

Why can't Inter win in the important Champions League events?

Watching the games, we can say that we deserved more. But there are three left, we will speak at the end of the group stage and see if it was a quality problem from us or from the rivals.

The rivals finish little towards their goal, but they are conceding many goals.

When many goals are conceded you should worry, of course. The rivals, against us, are all playing in the same way: locked up and on the backlash. We always suffer from our mistakes, I have rarely seen him receive so many because the rival was better, with a beautiful play. We must improve.

Does the criticism of these months bother you?

I prefer the mister to answer.
