Inter Milan coach Conte upset with Coppa exit: Over 2 legs we deserved to win

Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte was left frustrated after failing to reach the Coppa Italia final.

Last night's 1-1 draw with Inter saw Napoli setup a final with Juventus 2-1 on aggregate.

Conte lamented, “Over the two legs, I believe we deserved to reach the Final. I have very little to reproach my lads for after this evening, because this is the aggressive football I want to see, trying to dominate the game.

“We created many chances and perhaps could've been more clinical in front of goal, but David Ospina made some stunning saves and was decisive.

“It's disappointing to concede that goal, as it was a naïve error we could've avoided. If we want to fight it out with a team like Napoli, we created so much, dominated the match and this performance bodes well for the future.

“On the Napoli goal, it was a corner and we had the right positions, but then there was a ricochet and we lost our shape. It was an error, we weren't focused enough at that moment and we paid a heavy price. At least it'll show us that these details are the difference at this level and help us to grow."
