Antonio Conte, 45, first season as coach Ansa
Tomorrow in Geneva, against Portugal, will not be the simple closing of a circle along almost a year, because Antonio Conte, still unbeaten as coach of the national team, does not conceive the concept of friendly match ” I do not see the difference compared to a race official: my players know what matter I detest the word defeat and I want them to understand the difference between winning and not winning, we are giving away three points or not. ” In any case, it was not any one year: “Very different from all previous ones: I do not do a vote, but I know I’ve been working as hard as ever. Making the coach means being able to see the team only on a random basis. Tomorrow will be soon my tenth game, and a little ‘makes me weird, but at this point I became aware from all points of view of what it means my role, for better or for worse. How I feel has a little, now I have metabolized what I am asked: less talk and a lot of work, I channeled all my energy there, to talk about the facts. ”
balance – As admit that it was a complicated year, Conte said: “I have never been touched by the idea of leaving . Those who know me well know that I demand clarity in all situations, then someone may have thought, but although there were difficult times I have always had in mind the commitment made by those who wanted me – and this time I was always very close – and the Italian people. ” Commitment called commitment, why his team Conte asks “feeling, passion, enthusiasm, the team must always have in its DNA the spirit of sacrifice that allows us to look ahead with a little ‘optimism”.
problems – The blanket sometimes turned out to be short, especially lately has felt the lack of decisive players especially in attack, ” It is a time of generational change: there is the great striker who has always been there, and indeed sometimes there was even more than one. I think the successes always come to about the group: quality and talent serve but are enhanced in the organization of the team, is unlikely to happen the other way around. That said, I hope next season we can have good answers from Zaza and building, we see how Rossi will recover and who will give me signals that this year is not starred (reference to Balotelli ?, ed): the doors of the National Assembly are always open. ” With an assumption that the c.t. not hiding, knowing that the next season will be the European Championship that will take: “For I will make my choices people have played in a ‘decisive’ in the club, it is in Italy or abroad. I hope all My be convened play as much as possible: just playing improves and you earn points to be chosen. ” But also the friendly tomorrow worth points: “I have six changes and I will bring them all to see as many people as possible.” And never mind if, without Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal will be the test less reliable: “Everyone has their own management of the group and end of the season will get very tired. However, no team is represented only by a single, although it is a phenomenon as Ronaldo, and Portugal has many other players – from Nani to Coentrao, by Quaresma to Moutinho – that will make this interesting test. “
