"Unforeseen events, whether 🔯small or large, are part of the season, for every team.

"We have 41 points than🃏ks to all 24 players. Each one has contributed, and that’s the most important thing. We mustn't depend on just one or two players."

Conte also spoke highly of Fiorentina's form, expressing deep respect for the way they have played attacking football to climb to f♕ifth in the standings.

"We must respect them, but at the same ti🤪me, we need to play our own game and continue to grow."

Cone added that he was🌱 still building the team for a long-term project⭕.

"We’re in the process of♉ building something. It takes time ꦯand patience," he said.

"I’m proud of the players, th💖eir commitment and attachment to th🎐is club."
