Conte was also asked if he was surprised to see Alessandro Matri this week move from Milan to Fiorentina on loan, just six months after leaving Turin.
“For Alessandro, I have great affection because with us he was always an important player, he contributed significantly to our winning two Serie A titles.
“From a sporting point of view, indeed, more than that, from the human perspective, I may regret that things have not gone well for him at Milan.
“Yet, I repeat, I have great affection for a player who was very important for us. And he showed that in the two years, helping us to win two Scudetti.”
