""The way I've always seen football, as a player and as a coach, talks and controversies are external to the game and bring nothing," he said. "They don't affect the final result; they are useless. They have little impact, except at a media level, and have nothing to do with this sport. "Personally, I laugh when there's too much talk about things that have nothing to do with reality; they actually make me focus even more on my work.""
""We know it's a tricky game against a team that puts everyone in trouble because they have identity and intensity," he added. "Bologna put obstacles in your way, even in simple situations. They have strong wingers on inverted feet, and midfielders with physical presence. "They also know how to go man-to-man; they have legs and good timing, and determination. "Even if you beat the first line of pressure, many of them track back, so we need to be careful and do some things better, with a strong sense of responsibility.""
Inter sit two points behind AC Milan with a game in hand and remain contenders alongside Roma, Juventus and reigning champions Napoli. Antonio Conte suggested rivals were better structured than Napoli, but controversies and media talk are described as external to the game and useless, with little impact on results. Five teams are currently fighting for the Scudetto with minimal differences. Inter can go top with a win over Bologna. Bologna present a tricky challenge with identity, intensity, strong inverted wingers, physical midfielders, man-to-man defending and disciplined tracking back, requiring responsibility and improved execution.
