"We must think to the present to work very hard every day, every week, every month to be something important for the fans," said Conte. "It's important to have players who are ready to fight."
"In these two days, I saw players with the right attitude, with the right behaviour, with a great will to fight for this shirt,"
"Our target is to win, not to make all the players happy"
“You [the media] speak about being happy, but I speak about wanting to win and work very hard. My target is to put a winning mentality into the minds of the players. The winning mentality doesn’t exist to keep players happy, because it’s very difficult to keep 20 players happy."
“I want players who are ready to fight and put themselves in the team to try to win together. If you are happy or unhappy, I don’t care.”
“We’re being praised and that gives me the creeps, because I fear it will make some of you relax,” he said in a pre-match team-talk to his Juventus players in 2012 that was caught on camera.
“You want to win the title? You’ll have to spit blood right to the very end of the final match of the season.”
