Conte happy to duck Juventus-Roma controversy

Italy coach Antonio Conte is happy to be out of the controversy of club football.

Conte was asked about AS Roma captain Francesco Totti's comments, that "by hook or by crook" Juventus always win.

"I am the Coach of Italy today and these situations are all seen from a very detached viewpoint. In Italy there are two teams who are much stronger than the others, so from here to the end of the season it'll be a Scudetto duel between Juventus and Roma.

"There will be other verbal clashes, I'm sure, but the important thing is for the protagonists to send positive messages."
