Juventus coach Antonio Conte feels his team still have room to improve despite the Bianconeri’s 3-1 win over Inter on Sunday.

Juve took control through goals from Stephan Lichtsteiner, Giorgio Chiellini and Arturo Vidal inside 60 minutes and although Inter pulled one back through Rolando, it was not enough to deny the hosts their 19th league win of the season.

That victory left the reigning champions nine points clear of second-placed Roma, whose match against Parma was abandoned because of heavy rain, but Conte is still looking for more from his side.

“It’s great that we won,” Conte told reporters yesterday.

“We prepared for the Inter game down to the last detail.

“We knew that Inter would use Mateo Kovacic and Ricky Alvarez to mark Andrea Pirlo and we prepared for that too. We played well and it’s just a shame we conceded that goal which created a bit of anxiety.

“People ask me why I continue to wave my arms on the touchline when it’s late in the game and it is because I know it takes one moment of luck to score and for a game to be re-opened.

“We are the top scorers in Serie A, but could have scored more goals against Inter.”

Regarding his side’s prolific scoring in Serie A this season, Conte added: “I have always been a believer in attacking football.

“As a player I won five league titles, the Champions League and everything there was to win, so I can only wish they (my players) follow me and do even better.

“I always want my team to take the initiative. It’s better to lose a game by attacking than to draw while waiting while the other team takes command.”
