Atalanta are great team and Inter did very well against them, asserts Antonio Conte

In an interview, Inter boss Antonio Conte has said that he’s satisfied with the team’s efforts despite a 1-1 draw against Atalanta last night. The draw means that Inter could lose the Serie A top spot to Juventus should the Old Lady beat AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico. The Nerazzurri are hoping to dethrone Juve who have been winning the Scudetto since 2011-12 season. Conte acknowledged the class of Atalanta after a game and termed La Dea as a “great team”.

“We must consider ourselves very satisfied, we had Skriniar, Barella, Vecino and D’Ambrosio unavailable, but despite that we held our own. Honour and credit to the guys, this is the road we have set out on, we must continue trying to have Atalanta as a reference as regards the desire to attack the opponent. We were a little short of energy in the final minutes of the game, we were winning, then the fact of defending changed the result. But I’m very happy. I feared this match, I had great respect for an opponent who are in the best times of their season.” concluded the ex Chelsea coach
