Godin: Conte everything to Inter

By Football Italia staff

Inter defender Diego Godin says the club “have built around Antonio Conte. He’s the main figure and piece of this puzzle.”

Godin followed Conte to Inter over the summer, and the pair have helped the Beneamata top the Serie A standings with five wins from their first five games.

“Conte and Simeone are two Coaches with great characters,” the defender told Marca.

“Inter have built around Conte. He’s the main figure and piece of this puzzle.

“Here, however, we look at more videos of our opponents and tactical work on the field is different.

“Conte makes me play out more and asks me to start moves.”

The Uruguayan was then asked about the player who had surprised him the most – Stefano Sensi.

“To tell you the truth, I didn’t know him... I’ve been very surprised by him,” he added.

“He has great quality and knows how to use his body very well, despite being so small.”

The 32-year-old won La Liga with Atletico Madrid in 2014, so can he repeat that feat in Nerazzurro?

“They talk about us being title contenders... we’ll see. Juve have signed some great players, but our club is ambitious. We want to fight for everything.

“Here we have dinner early, at around 8. I’m still adapting to that. I don’t feel like a ‘jefe’ [chief] here.

“I was one at Atletico, but I’m still new to Inter. I feel important but I have to go slowly.”
