[king Ale]

Yeah.. That's not what I read.

You either need a pair of glasses or a little less of bitterness.

I dislike him a little less now. What a tactician.

Oh do I? Because last time I checked I'm not gloating when someone loses. Something I see every fucking time on this forum, e.g. messi. But yeah, I'm the bitter one. Pathetic.

Well I wouldn't. The team was on a great run, they were full of confidence and Germany played exactly in our hands with changing the formation before the game. The game was there to win, especially after the pk goal, he had 3 subs going into the last 30 minutes + extratime with superior offensive players on the bench who are deadly on the counter yet he waited too long to act.

Ma daiiii it's a team of scrubs bar the defense

 

[lgorTudor]

He did a good job. That's all

 

[Zacheryah]

Conte was the best coach, motivator and ball kicker in this tournament, and its not even close.

Belgium, Spain, and one penaltykick away from germany, with by far and away the worst italian midfield and frontline in history.
By motivating these midgets to play far above their level, to have them execute his tactical plan with mesmering perfecting which drew admiration worldwide, to get results.


How on earth can a coach get so very much, from such small amount of talent ?


Conte can. I've seen the Azzurri in competitions from 1998 till today, and this was as good as Lippi. And it didnt need a calciopoli scandal to unite and motivate them, no that was also, all Conte.



Thanks coach. Thanks for giving me a reason to actually watch this tournament and be actively supporting in it.


Best of luck at chelsea.

Im not even blaming him for the tactics, just the subs were terrible. What the hell did he take EL Shaarawy for if he isnt even gonna use him? + im so mad Gigi didnt win this, so i have to direct my anger somewhere. Another thing I blamed him for all along, and it now backfired, is not finishing 2nd in the group. Thats all

The reason why you think his subs would have made a difference is that you have adapted your perceptions of Italian squad's mediocrity to the level they reached in this tournament. Apart from Buffon and the three defenders, the rest could be only another Poland minus Lewa, or Wales minus Bale, and you wouldn't blame such a team for putting up a fight against Germany and increasing their chances of winning to 50% (penalty kicks).

I'm eternally bitter with Messi and Barca's success, true story, but that doesn't keep me from reading others' comments correctly.

Your comment was that you like Conte better now because of his success with Italy due to his tactical genius.

Nope thats not it. Its the natural thing to do when half your team is tired and you defend mostly, to put in players that could change the game on the counter. He had such players on the bench, but decided not to use them

He subbed florenzi for darmian.

Candreva and DDR were out


He needed Pelle




Literally the only sub would be Insigne for Eder. but eder was playing decent to good

Wow, that's just truly amazing.
Some great words from Parolo too. Damn this guy instills something special in his players. I wish he still was withus :depressed

I said I disliked him less. Learn to read

The reason I brought up bitterness is that I can't understand your reaction to my comment without even having read it, so it could be due to our earlier discussion about Belgium. And believe me, I wish I could have liked your national team because a bunch of my fav people here are Belgian but I genuinely think your team was overrated. I never even wanted to rub it, was just stating what i was thinking.

 

[s4tch]

I judge him by the results, could have easily subbed put eder too soon and lost the game in regulation, that's the problem with Hindsight you only choose the scenario that fits your narrative

so when i praise conte for his tactical choices against belgium, spain and germany, you're fine with that. when i don't exactly praise him for having subbed out éder too late (which i most probably did in the live thread, too), it's a hindsight that fits my narrative. wow. tell me now, what's my narrative exactly? is life supposed to be black and white in this thread?

btw results aren't everything. they are out, a quarterfinal exit might be considered as a failure by some, but italy still had a brilliant tournament.

Disliking someone less is the same as liking someone more. Don't bullshit me.

Believe it or not, but it wasn't about Belgium. You're still wrong about that btw and I get the impression you just don't know our team that well, but it doesn't matter.

Eder should have gone off much earlier and he wasn't that good really. Couldnt control the ball often and this is supposed to be their SS. El Shaarawy could have also been put on instead of De Sciglio, they needed someone to carry the ball out after defending successfully. I called for a 3421 before the game, i think that would have worked better against this Germany team

I meant your in general not specifically you, and yes or threads are black and white

can't say it better, for me it's the most convincing italy side I've seen....even the world cup winners of 2006 had some players hugely underperformed like Totti, Toni, Camoranesi...

Conte made average players a serious threat to who ever they played against.

he should be proud. italy should be proud of this tournament's performance.

Germans would have blasted trough a 3421. SES would have seen draxler giving an assist.


But i also wanted the eder sub sooner. But Conte prefers to wait with it cause of the automatisms between pelle and him. I can accept that.
