ANTONIO CONTE'S WORDS

"I’m not worried: this is how it is and we’ll face the current situation with our heads held high, not giving too much weight to our absentee list or what we’ve been experiencing. I’m also not concerned when it comes to footballing matters: we’re playing good football and have been picking up less than we've deserved. However, it’s true that we’ve been punished for moments of carelessness, and we need to work on this. But this group has desire, determination and a spirit of sacrifice: we’ll keep pushing forward."
