Inter Milan boss Conte unhappy playing in front of empty stadiums

Inter Milan boss Antonio Conte isn't happy playing in front of empty stadiums.

Due to Coronavirus concerns, Inter's Sunday night game against Sampdoria was postponed, and their Thursday evening Europa League clash against Ludogrets will be played behind closed doors, as will the Derby d'Italia against Juventus this Sunday.

“I think that playing behind closed doors is not beautiful, football needs the public and to feel the whole atmosphere around it, it's the most beautiful thing," Conte said.

“Having said that, we refer to the decisions made for health reasons, but I hope that first everything returns to normal.

"We have a very busy period, the fact that the match with Sampdoria was postponed has changed the situation a bit. We had trained to prepare for this cycle of matches, only at the end will we see where we are."
