Conte and the natives: “They were in National also before me” – Corriere dello Sport.it

FLORENCE – Oriundi, foreign, Italian. Antonio Conte, recovering from a bout of flu, explains his choices, from Eder to Vazquez in Valdifiori.

There is much discussion of the natives, Mancini said he does not agree with his choices . Italy Italians …
“I’m not the first and will not be the last to even call these natives. In the past they have been part of the national team, and have also become world champions, players like Paletta, Romulo, Ledesma, Amauri. World last 83 of 736 players were natives. These are the rules, this is football. You can always create the controversy or not, I respect any opinion, but I did nothing wrong in the past. I would have gladly seen these players a month if there was a chance to do the internship, I also had a better idea. I rewarded players who have Italian citizenship, now I will assess them. “
Prandelli said he would call the natives if convinced they are in Italian. She has adopted what line?
“Vazquez, unlike Dybala, had immediately said that he had his mother Italian and Italian to be felt within. There are statri some players who have not tried to want the blue shirt. I never forced anyone, I never spoke directly with them to convince them, if one must feel inside. The national team does not have to be a fallback for those who do not arrive at their national. Vazquez and Eder are doing very well in the league, I would have gladly tested the Stage, I was not possible, I want them to see and evaluate. If they make our case, if we can give something important …. “
You hear of sending a message to the Italian players to reassure him? You as a player would not live very well this choice of ct era
“I think we should get into the National best, ever, no one should hope for the lack of players. This is the message we want to send. The national team is the best. You have to prove that they are good and deserve it, do not hope that the coach has little chance to be so called, would not be fair for the National. “
Vazquez can play two roles, as she sees?
“Speaking with Iachini, told me that he feels tip, born striker. Now it is used as a playmaker, free to go where your heart takes. We have our system, in which the attacker has to do certain movements. It is not an extension of the midfield, but we always return to the initial speech: I called him because I want to see him. Do I have to evaluate it. “
In two matches of the Italian Cup, Fiorentina-Roma-Napoli and Lazio, we played almost no Italian. After the meeting in Milan, feels helped by the coaches?
‘The percentages are obvious, but I would not take any responsibility to the coaches, they try to get success by playing the best and if the four teams in question are composed of foreigners means that Technical consider them stronger than the Italians. The coaches are the least responsible. “
There is always some controversy around the National …
” Around the National and also around me, as natural person. There are those who agree and those who do not, in all countries is so. Are always constructive debates. “
What hurts? Why do you say that there is controversy around her?
“It ‘s just a consideration.”
The fact that there are Pirlo and De Rossi, is a problem or an opportunity?
“They are two strong players that can still give a lot to the national team. But now as Veratti players have a chance to really prove to take over the reins of the midfield, otherwise we are always there, the usual speeches, instead it is time where you have us discover the cards. I try to do the invitations based on the state of the form, the physical condition and also psychological. “
” I turn around and I see myself alone, “he said after Albania. Now as you can see? More or less alone since then?
“At this time I realized that it is better to look ahead.”
Four months without field, it had never happened. As experienced them?
“It was not easy, even if between Under and transfers, its firm was not. I am very happy to return to work. “
How much has weighed not doing internships?
” It is not a matter of weigh or not to weigh, but have ideas a bit ‘clearer. For example, I would have liked to see Samson of Sassuolo. I preferred to leave the players in the Under 21 for the European Championship, but it was the right time to see them on the Stage. Then I understand the needs, I have done a reason and that’s okay. “
How do you imagine the National Verratti?
” Do not ever shall imagine the National of a single player, but a National where they can play Verratti, Buffon, Chiellini. With me there will never be a national of a single player. “
What do you expect from Barzagli and Cerci?
” Sa Barzagli know what aspetterami, l ‘ I trained for three years, I’m glad I’ve taken. We are monitoring it for over a month, was available for more than a month, if he was not playing was for technical choice. He played three games in a week to confirm the state of the form, I always thought that one of the Italian defenders stronger. As for Cerci experienced a situation that asks questions. It ‘a player who has characteristics that do not have many, for example the one on one. That said, after the big league last year in athletics has played little, in Milan is playing little. The last time I called he did well, that’s why I called. If it continues to give me these guarantees will remain in the group. “
With Barzagli added value Juve can go forward in the Champions.
” With Barzagli, but this year all Juve proved he could do extraordinary things in the Champions League. “
What struck you Valdifiori?
” In Italy we have a lot of players this type, Montolivo, Pirlo, Marchisio, De Rossi, Verratti. The deck is short in other parts of the field. Valdifiori deserved the call, made a long apprenticeship, I liked when I coached in B, it is confirmed in A, I’m curious to see how they compare with this type of players. “
You see a certain deterioration of the environment? Manenti jail, assaults on referees …
“These months have taught me that it is better to keep your head down and work, just watching and not think about what’s around.”

How do you see this league?
“Juve have shown in every way to be the most fprte, the competitors for various reasons have encountered problems. For the second, third and fourth place is a good fight. Juve have done a fantastic season and it was not easy, because after that you come from three seasons in which you won the championship is not easy. “
The success of Juventus in the Champions League and the two Italian to the quarterfinals of the Europa League means that we are catching up?
“We must be happy. Juve in the quarter, as Fiorentina and Napoli and could also be the Turin which was very unfortunate, we must accept as a good sign. Ottimosta are more than in the past, I see that other countries are beginning to limp, even countries such as England. This should make us happy, we must hope that these teams can go ahead, bring prestige to our championship and rekindle a little ‘interest in those players who now prefer other leagues. “
Before the conference Conte, Professor Enrico Castellacci explained Gabbiadini’s injury: “ Last night he went out to a left adductor muscle pain and cramps in the flexors. For now can stay with us, the monitezzermo in the coming days, for now there are no major concerns, but muscle problems should always be followed carefully . “
