Conte To Sky Sport Italia
We put together two positive performances and we needed to keep two clean sheets in a row. We conceded 10 goals, which was unusual because defence has always been our strength. We had to shake off the two defeats to Fiorentina and Real Madrid. This was a good result and we definitely need to improve, even if it’s not easy playing every three days. Now we think about Parma. Is Tevez prolific off the field as well as on it? I guess so! Carlos is very generous and also keeps his cool in the box. When he gets a scoring opportunity, he has the calm head to take it. Sebastian Giovinco is finally in good shape, above all psychologically, so we need the fans to start applauding and supporting him. He is a product of our youth academy and should be considered a source of pride for our colours. Andrea Pirlo is the only Italian player in the running for the Ballon d’Or, so his qualities are obvious throughout his career.
