JAKARTA - Antonio Conte believes Inter Milan has secured 95 percent of the Italian League scudetto after defeating Verona 1-0 at the Giuseppe Meazza on Sunday night.

That belief was also what made Conte immediately join his players when they celebrated Matteo Darmian's goal against Verona.

"In that hug, I saw the strength that we are already 95 percent of the way to the Scudetto," Conte said after the match, as quoted by Antara from Inter's official website.

"Today we played against a very physical and carefree team. A win like this is worth nine points, not just three," he added.

With the victory over Verona, Inter has now collected 79 points at the top of the standings and widened the lead to 13 points over AC Milan who just played today.

Mathematically, Inter only needs two more wins to seal the Scudetto title and according to Conte, it is important to instill a winning mentality in his squad.

"If we win this season, it will make a lot of players in this squad start to think of themselves as winners," he concluded.

Inter will then visit Crotone headquarters on Saturday, May 1 next week and have the opportunity to be the executioner who ensures that the caretaker team is relegated to Serie B.
