Antonio Conte gestures, agitates, remotely controls his team on the pitch, protests with the referee even risking big, asks his team in a loud voice to "use their heads" after Atalanta's goal.
Basically, too, in Bergamo we saw the usual Conte, who was not listless because of the anything but positive situation at Inter.
And perhaps also for this reason the Nerazzurri coach, after the draw at the Gewiss Stadium, does not mince words to put his accusers in the sights.
"To those who speak of Conte with less fury, I say to remove the wine at the table. Maybe even the liquor afterwards. I hope not to listen to other nonsense like this ...", his words to Sky in the post game.
A Conte in "prohibitionist" version for the many criticisms received, even if to date the results are not on his own, with the worst start since 2016/17 (only three victories in the first ten races of the season): something more will be needed for the recovery after the stop of the national teams, when Lukaku and his teammates will play the qualification for the second round of the Champions League and will also have to reduce the gap from the top of the standings.
In the meantime, the Inter coach tries to find the positive side, despite in the last seven games, identifying the problem of his team in the absence of "killer instinct".
"Today Atalanta must talk about a tough Inter in a match in which I think we deserved something more. We had the opportunity to close the match, certainly in this period we are lacking the killer instinct", continued Conte .
"We have conceded very little to a team that scored the most goals with us last year. Now we have to recover and rest, we have all recovered. We prepare the matches, then it's up to whoever goes on the pitch to manage the new situations. . When we conceded the goal, there was a moment of confusion and it doesn't have to happen. "
But, Conte concluded, "Inter within a year is scary again": the results, however, must now arrive.
