"I have no complaints about the team today. We had 65% possession, took 24 shots on goal, and won 16 corners. Lecce defended very well, but ultimately, we managed to break them down," Conte told DAZN.

"When you're attacking and can't find a breakthrough, there’s inevitably some frustration and anxiety. In fact, I had to calm the lads down because I was convinced we would score sooner or later.

Those of us who have played the game know how much we’d like to take the lead as early as possible, but we also understand the importance of patience—keeping the ball moving and creating chances to find the back of the net," the coach added.
