National, Conte: “Come on, head down and ride” – The Republic

THE GLEN – The hard-fought victory on Azerbaijan is already behind us, now is the time to think of Malta, another one of those teams that will try to remove them spaces to limit the damage against a blazoned as Italy. Antonio Conte does not care for criticism following the challenge with the Azeris and unsa a cycling metaphor: “Criticism? Moment I think this is important for us, especially, we must think exclusively to work. We are like a rider who has just started his stage, then head down and pedal, without looking around. ” Apart from this, the national stadium of TàQali probably will not play the same team of Palermo: “Any news’ with respect to training on Friday there will be, because even play after just three days.” The coach does not name names, but Graziano Pellè could be the news. “Pellè can be an ‘option for tomorrow as Destro and Giovinco.”

The adversary, trained by Peter Ghedin, should not be underestimated according to Conte, who can draw a tactical picture of the race: “We expect a lot tricky. Against Norway have played openly taking goal on the counterattack, then. … ” On the individual, Conte focused on the return of Pirlo in blue: “He did well against Azerbaijan, falls from a serious injury and we will do the evaluations. Verratti is in the best position to play, Pirlo is accustomed to suffer markings man, it also comes at the expense of football. Bel game or victory? I always set my teams to make the game, whatever the opponent wonder aggression, regaining the ball, movement in space, ball game in hand always.’m the same doing with this country. “.

Conte has also broadened the discussion beyond the race of Malta, explaining his intent on the blue bench:” I have to be a coach of this team, the coach is a grader, I want to do everything except the breeder. The reason why I decided to venture in this challenge is being able to make the national team a small club. Certainly, I’d be like Bearzot or others for what they have won, but I want to be a coach for this national team. “

Conte is not afraid to call ‘ignorant’ team:” When you are called Building and Zaza so, I liked it: I say ignorant in a good way, of course . It means bad, determined. And I do not mind if I set my Italian ‘gregarious’. To belittle someone for me absolutely not: the gregarious thinks with us, the problem with me, but with the phenomena you know where it ends … “, the dig at past weblog Balotelli.

Buffon: “RETURN OF Balotelli? PLEASE CHECK “- In the press conference also Buffon, who returns to the performance against Azerbaijan:” I had to raise my voice after the race. There are times when certain players need to be heard and to have their say, but for the race with Azerbaijan my classmates go only applauded for the application, the dedication and the great desire that they are putting in every training session. Let’s look at the glass half full, and then it was very pretty vehement reaction of the last quarter of an hour after their draw. “

” It ‘a very serious matter to the National Conte, of people who know the next European get there and play with no regrets. To write the history of a nation like Italy you just have to win. We must work in the best way possible to achieve significant results. “On Balotelli:” His return may occur. Mario is still young and has many years ahead of career. Among other things, I do not think that Mr. Conte ever said that it will convene a striker like Mario. “
