Antonio Conte has promised that Inter will not be portrayed as the “savior” of Italian football as he fights for the glory of the Europa League.
A semi-final against Shakhtar Donetsk awaits coach Conte and his on Monday in Dusseldorf, with the prospect of completing the season with the cutlery.
The focus has turned to Inter at home following The fall of Juventus to Lyon and Napoli’s defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League in the eighth round, while Atalanta lost to Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of the same competition.
The nerazzurri are Italy’s last hope for a European trophy this season, but Conte has rejected the concept that they are for the nation.
The former technician from Italy and Juventus said at a press conference on Sunday: “We are not the country’s saviors, we did our adventure without chasing others.”
“Our purpose is to improve. Personally, if we had to win a European success, I would be pleased for the club, not for me. I’m not thinking about my non-public record yet at the club that’s going to rent me. “
Conte seems ready to face off without the injured Alexis Sánchez, the Chilean who suffers a hamstring injury.
“Sanchez has been away for three quarters of the season,” Conte said. “Now we realize what kind of weapon we lack. It’s widespread that not having it on hand disappoints me and deprives me of a basic element.
At least Inter has Romelu Lukaku available, with former Everton and Manchester United scoring in their last nine matches in the competition.
This race began in 2014, in the Everton era, and Lukaku is the first player to have made such a career in the Europa League or its forerunner, the UEFA Cup.
He was worried in 15 goals of that sequence, scoring 12 times and counting on three assists.
Inter qualified for the semi-finals of a European festival for the first time since winning the Champions League in the 2009–10 campaign, but Conte takes nothing for granted to move forward.
He described Shakhtar as “a complete team of players” and said Inter would show them “great respect.”
Conte has closed questions about Inter’s moving plans. The club’s president, Steven Zhang, has ambitions for the club, and even Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi recently connected to Inter.
“At the moment it’s not the case to communicate about the moving market and other players,” Conte said.
“We are betting on the final season and can only thank my team for what they did during the season and after the lockout, they were commendable.”
