It's not like he's making up excuses though, is it? Everyone knows they're valid points.
Sure, Conte always reminding the fans & press where we came from is a bit annoying at times. But the fans & media always forgetting it in the first place is far more annoying to me personally.
Everyone here, it seems.
Better yet, RUS is the reason the internet was invented.

Fine, they may be valid points, but you don't concede those on the eve of an important match mind games or not. It's true that what the team has achieved in the span of two years is a great feat, but how long will it takes until we look at where we are at the moment rather than looking at what we were in the past?
It's satisfying to do the latter, it keeps away from entitlement and it sure is a great way to stay humble, but the reality is we've changed as a team.

See, the bolded part is very interesting. Depending on how you interpret it, it can mean entirely different things.
I'd say that a big part of our fans are not looking at where we are right now, but rather where we were in the past. The past meaning pre-Calciopoli.
Regardless, I've never been one to care much about press talk & I sure won't start now. The only thing I care about is what happens on the pitch. Which, of course, was an absolute disgrace last Tuesday

Why should we constantly be reminded of it? Imagine you failed your first year in college, but then graduated with honors somehow. Would you like your dad constantly reminding you that only 4 years ago you were a complete failure? I think not
In any case, Conte does have his flaws, but in this particular instant, the mind games might actually be useful. Deflect pressure off the squad in the meida a la Mourinho, while giving the lads self belief in training and the dressing room.

I'd liked to be reminded of where I was 4 years ago, how much I achieved since then, and how much more I can achieve in the future.
Well, we should move on and look forward; that does not mean we should forget it of course. If we're constantly reminded of it, it just means we haven't done anything worthy of being equivalent. If we want to reach the next step as a team, imo we also need to acknowledge what we are and stop being scared of the pressure it carries. Great teams deal with pressure; it motivates them further in certain cases.
Yep, but at what point should we stop bringing that? At what point is it still relevant? And most importantly (it also is what Cheese implied I assume), is it okay to bring that up when disillusion occurs? When it's brought into that context, it just sounds like someone wants to rest on his laurels and have an excuse for underachieving.

Then why are you so often comparing our current attack with the one we used to have?
Sorry, I just couldn't resist

I guess it really depends on what context the past is utilized as a reference point for the future. Kind of like life really; sometimes you want to forget things you have done, but there are memories you wish to cherish
So, new slogan is "whereas we are still a building site"
Durimg the two games with bayern we were presented with an exhibition of just what we need to step it up another level. Sadly the tactical aspect of our game was just as exposed as the individuals carrying it out. This is his first year in the chl so there are no grounds for panic just yet, but he needs to cut out tailoring our tactics to fit the opponent as a glove. Simply cannot play this formation against a system which overloads the wings,bayern had it easy during both games partially because of Conte.
