Inter Milan boss Conte fumes: They tell me I should smile more

Inter Miilan boss Antonio Conte was fuming after their Champions League defeat to Borussia Dortmund.

Inter blew a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 in Germany.

Conte snapped: "It was the same thing that happened in Barcelona. In fact, this was worse, as we had a two-goal advantage.

“It's disappointing, but what can I say? They tell me that I should smile more on television. I should always say the same things, the growth process, taking it step by step, so just ask me some questions and I'll try to answer.

“I don't feel like even commenting on the second half, as there are too many alibis and I don't want to create any more. I just hope this type of match clarifies things for those who need to understand.

“The lads are going at 100km/h and I can only thank them for all they are doing during this period. They cannot give more than this.

“It irritates me and I hope that this defeat irritates my players too. We can do no more than to work and that's what we're doing. I am just fed up of saying the same things over and over, I hope a director comes here and says things instead."

He added: "We are Inter, so we must all look at ourselves and realise we are… actually, I was going to cause controversy again, but no, stop me talking now.

“I am really p***ed off, because we cannot do more than this. We've reached the limit."
