Inter Milan defender De Vrij happy with Conte preseason

Inter Milan defender Stefano De Vrij is enjoying preseason under new coach Antonio Conte.

De Vrij helped Inter beat Lugano 2-1 on Sunday, with Conte getting off to a winning start in preseason.

"Things are going very well, we're working a lot physically and technically," the defender told Sportitalia after the game.

“We've put some gas in our legs so we can be better prepared. The formation has changed with Conte.

“Things inevitably do with three at the back, but that shouldn't be a problem. We have to work on it and that's what we're doing.

“He makes us understand what he wants from us through what he tells us. The Icardi issue doesn't concern us. We're only thinking about what we have to do."
