“It’s good to do this kind of test, a hard test to understand if we want to try to be competitive and try to win every game.”
Conte went on to say they lost because of a mistake during a corner kick, saying they will try to correct such error as they go into the PL season.
“We lost to Roma because of a minor detail on a corner. We have to pay attention to these situations, we have to take care of these details,” he added.
