Inter seeking to ‘bounce back’ against Sampdoria before Juventus showdown
Milan: Antonio Conte warned Inter Milan need to bounce back from recent setbacks against Sampdoria on Saturday to keep pace with leading duo Juventus and Lazio, before their clash with the Serie A champions in Turin next week. Inter dropped from first to third, three points behind champions Juventus, after losing 2-1 to second-placed Lazio last weekend, following an Italian Cup defeat to Napoli.
"It was a painful result," said Conte of the loss in Rome's Stadio Olimpico. "We've now got back up with the desire to bounce back and move forward." Claudio Ranieri's Sampdoria are 17th, just one point above the relegation zone, and lost the reverse fixture in Genoa 3-1 in September. - AFP
