Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte has told the Italian media to stop obsessing about tactics.
Conte has hit out at the criticism of pundits.
Do they say that I'm more a League coach than a European one? You live by clichs..." said Conte.
As long as someone says something on TV, everyone goes after it. I've played in three Champions Leagues, but I always did so with new creations...
Instead, others have with teams who are already established. That's what we can say to pundits. Everyone here thinks I win whatever I touch, but it's not true.
Only in Italy are we fixated on formations. I've coached in England and they don't give a damn over there.
I want to see bravery and intensity, the things we're trying to propose. The rest is all rubbish.
Modern football evolves and you have to keep up with the times, even those who coached before and saw things differently.
Enthusiasm isn't tied to results but rather what we're trying to do. Rome was not built in a day."
