Was exactly like this as a player too.

In his defense he's talking about the context of a 110m transfer deal. Not a 40m euro deal. And he's probably right. Silly to spend that kind of money.

Want him to destroy Paul and Mou and Pep.

Can see Conte finish top 2.

Although you can just sense that he's not going to be the kind of coach that creates a team that wins big. Partly his lack of experience on the big stages, and partly the lack of character and talent coming through the Azzurri ranks. In 26 years of supporting the Nazionale, I haven't seen a team...

Boss. What a masterclass tonight. This Italy experience has done Conte a world of good as far as his continental football repertoire is concerned.

Surprisingly though, I think he will get more ballsy against teams that push Italy more than Sweden did.

Great job Count. Hopefully this tournament will get him the recognition he deserves from some of the naysayers here.

Haha

B_Aus, does it even matter what his human qualities are? Given that he's no longer at the club, why is that relevant? The only thing that we need to be grateful for, is the work that he did. How he combs his hair, or writes his speeches, and pulls out phony words in post match press conferences...

yo! :P :D

To fix it all in one mercato would've been magic but to 'apparently fix' it in their second summer would've been par for the course? Even that would have been hard. Of course, I don't deny we were in bad shape before they came. But do you honestly think the management expected to go from seventh...

Please don't go on another tangent. This is not about the club management. It's about Conte getting due credit who will be a recognised figure well after this cycle, largely because of the impact he had on the team, and that impact had an even bigger bearing because of what he achieved in his...

Under Conte, not before Conte. - - - Updated - - - Being well managed may mean different things to different people. You could be well managed from an economic point of view or well managed from a sporting point of view, they're not mutually exclusive however. Before Conte arrived, the same...

Pls re-read the post. This is more about how dominating we have been in the last five years and not whether we will win one season or another. Even this season, you'd think all hope is lost, but everything came back after Allegri moved to Conte's old system, and once the players found their...

Coming off the type of seasons, where we couldn't win a tackle, let alone a match, it was pretty impressive. I didn't compare the team to Leicester. Just the feeling it gave to us fans with an absolutely magical run. Haha. What is with a bunch of you these days. Panties in a bunch waiting on...

Which only means the defence was pretty much world class before Conte moved to Juve. Wonder what allowed them to leak the number of goals they leaked in the season prior? I honestly doubt anybody thought a midfield of Pirlo Vidal and Marchiso would be the world class midfield you're claiming it...

Exactly my point. ;) You first said Conte had a world class team with a world class defence and midfield, now you say the likes of Marchisio and Bon became WC only after Allegri took over. Contradiction much. :D Haha. Sure :)

So what you're saying is, it's the same Bonnucci then as we see today!? The Barzagli who was bought from Wolfsburg as Legrotaglies replacement no less, was the best defender in the world then? You're talking about the legendary Pirlo or the one we collectively laughed at after he signed for...

Conte's contribution at what could be perhaps one of the most trying times in our history, can never be overrated or undermined. There was absolutely no guarantee Juve would've returned to their former greatness had it been another coach, with the team that was on paper. Anyone can win you a...
