Some are just trying to spice things up like drama queens.

Conte built a powerful, fearless team that dominated Italy for the first time since Calciopoli breaking all kinds of records. Allegri took us to the next level with European success and continued to break records. Both should be loved and cherished. End of Story.

The most annoying part of his tenure with us. And then when Benfica went down to 10 men, he failed to change from the 3-5-2 which had done nothing all game and just let the game peter out to nothing.
What disturbed me is that we did well for a while, then went down in intensity.

But despite having the likes of Llorente, Chiellini to camp in the box ; bonucci, pirlo, marchisio who can trow reasonable to good crosses and players to pick them up if they fumble like tevez and vidal.... we never went for that all out pressing on their bunker.



Imagine if Conte was our current coach.

"Lucky draw against monaco to move to the final ? Hell no, lets confirm 6 scudetto record"

Conte had only 2 seasons in Europe with the team. He failed in his last campaign but people hold that against him too much imo
It's not about what he did in Europe it's about how he dealt with the situation and his mentality when he can't seem to win.

He thinks Juve's squad isn't worth much to compete on a European stage but the year he left Juve almost won the treble.

Serie a record was priority to him and only.

He resigned three weeks before Juve's official season started, a coward move and he end up being the NT coach.

The "Let's not forget where we came from" is even one of his worst repetitive sentences/statements and made Juve sound or look like Inter.

No one is questioning his ability and no one can take what he has won, not a single fan, but his mentality sucks and when I think of it, I'm glad he resigned and Allegri took over, Allegri fits perfectly and as great tactician as he is yet he is very humble and at the same time looks for improving the squad from tactical point without being given any promises from the board on the players he wants.

If you can't give Allegri what he wants, he will work with what he has and that's another thing to admire him for.

Conte: "I think this season it's very important to understand that it's not always about who spends more money who wins," Conte insisted. "Otherwise, in this league, this season the name of the team [at the top] would not be Chelsea or Tottenham or Arsenal or Liverpool.

Oh man :ghey:

I don't disagree with any of that.

Conte made mistakes but people act like he personally stabbed each of them in the back.

There is no need to be so bitter towards a legend

I agree, no one should be bitter towards him, at the end of the day we end up with Allegri and that turned out to be real success and improvement.

Allegri goes beyond that. He didnt got the TQ he wanted, and only players for a formation he never used before.
So he just turns one into a trequartista, and switches to a formation that actually uses one


The result beeing that anything that Beppe currently gets that isnt a rigid B2B cm, can fit right in

I totally get why our management is so fond of Allegri as a result.


He's a a brilliant tactician that knows like no other how to improve the squad with any given player. He doesnt need this or that specific player

For our management this is a gods gift. We can get upgrades at the right price, or opportunities, and they know the coach will find a way to use him instead of bitch that 4rightbacks isnt a solution.

And when asked about the Trequartista or Mandzu LW he says it's no genius move, we had to change the formation and give more stability and freedom of movement to our players.

Simple and class.:heart:

Yeah. He absolutely refuses point blanc to take any credit for it.


In fact he makes it sound simple cause its all about the players making the sacrifice and he's just some guy putting names on a paper.


"Mandzukic ? Nah man, his exceptional workrate, contribution and added aerial and ground duel power allowed this stability"

"Dybala ? Nah man, he simply showed all these amazing qualities but also the workrate and drive to make this work so i just wrote his name on the paper"



Hence, when we win a massive game, he'll have a huge grin, shakes hand of the coach and goes in the dressingroom "cause this moment is for the players, not coach"

I know we had a weaker team at the time and Bayern were just a machine, but just read these comments he made before that first leg against them in 2013

"We are outsiders going up against one of the best teams in Europe, but we're not coming here as victims," said Conte, who insisted Juve would enjoy the moment.

"We are here to play our football with our philosophy. Playing at this level is a dream and sometimes dreams come true."

"They have players of great quality. We are champing at the bit to measure ourselves against them - they are a club which sets us an example."

:sergio: always with the underdog mentality, giving way too much respect and fear to our opponents before every big game in Europe. His comments before and after these games used to shit me so much.

His clearly trying to take a dig at the Manchester clubs where city and union, have a net spend of £162m and £152 respectively. Chelsea on the other hand have a net spend of £85m.

But even when we take into account just the expenditure figures then it comes as no suprise that even the lower clubs such as palace, watford and west ham have spent well over £50m alone.
