Count: fans - our twelfth player (VIDEO) © EuroFootball.com

The head coach of Turin was pleased with the performance of his players after a convincing victory in the Italian championship duel with "Palermo". After the match, Antonio Conte praised his team to journalists and was happy with their progress. After national team breaks, the 'old lady' usually returns to the championship unbalanced and often loses points, but this time, according to Conte, everything is different. "The break did not affect the players and everyone successfully got involved in the game," the coach stated. The strategist of the Turin team believes that a few rough mistakes in defense are a natural occurrence when pressed against the opponent's goal. "On paper and on the field, this match was tricky. One careless step aside and everything could have ended badly. We had to constantly attack to find gaps in their defense. It's not surprising to be vulnerable in such situations, but today Buffon was incomparable. "This victory is a great start to the upcoming championship routine. Yesterday I wanted to convey a clear message to everyone, which was clearly seen today - fans are our twelfth player," Conte continued. Asked if "Juventus" could win the Italian championship, the coach humbly replied: "It's difficult to objectively evaluate anything now, as the championships have not yet taken clear form. Something more specific can be said halfway through the season. "I must thank my boys who have embraced my technique and intensity-based football philosophy without hesitation. I am happy to work with a group of players who are open to new ideas and constantly want to surprise opponents with different tactical maneuvers. The concept of all this - enjoying the game and attracting as many fans to the stadium as possible, who could enjoy beautiful football. The consequences of all this - results," Conte pondered.
