Matri led Juve's line last season but only managed 10 goals, the most of any player at the club and has been criticised for it. The striker is rarely first choice in the line-up and faces stiff competition in Turin, but has already scored eight goals this season.
He attributed his improvement to the guidance of Conte, who won the Serie A in his first season in charge at the club.
You have to work really hard to apply his ideas. "The style of football that the Coach adopts has to involve the entire team," Matri told Mediaset Premium.
"We practice various different ideas during the week and the results are excellent. The organisation is paying off, combined with athletic, technical and tactical work that we do every day.
"You have to work really hard to apply Conte's ideas, but this helps you to stay in good shape and allows players to improve. Personally I have changed my style of football to settle in better to these ideas and I have grown, both tactically and in terms of character."
Juventus will face a tough test after the international break when they face Inter Milan and Bayern Munich within five days, but Matri is positive that they can take something out of both ties.
"Inter is always a game that means a lot to us. Bayern Munich are well-organised and prepared with great individual talents too." he added.
"We must make the most of our organisation, which has allowed us to get this far. It is fundamental that we don't immediately focus on the result, but on the idea of going out there to play our football. Admittedly, it's not easy to stay calm and relaxed in a Champions League quarter-final."
