Juventus coach Conte satisfied with Inter Milan point

Juventus coach Antonio Conte was satisfied with their point at Inter Milan yesterday.

Mauro Icardi opened the scoring, but Arturo Vidal equalised less than two minutes later for a 1-1 draw at San Siro.

Conte believes the Derby d'Italia draw showed Inter and Juventus can fight for the Scudetto this term.

"We confirmed today that Inter can target the top of the table this season, while Juventus are very tough to beat," he told Sky Sport Italia.

"I saw my team play very well in a difficult arena against a side that has everything to compete right to the end, as they don't have European commitments and therefore will have better fitness levels.

"What I liked best was the effort and desire to do well. We went a goal down, but reacted with anger and could've gone 2-1 up straight after.

"At the start of the second half we should've kept more alert and concentrated, though it was tough after so many had been on international duty and some of them paid the consequences."
