a bit off topic but do you think Del Neri would of got fired if we made champions league? Obviously its early but we can see the type of football Conte wants to play and what type of players he wants. Obviously with winning titles and consistent CL play the players available for purchase will only get better. So seeing how we played are first game with an attacking style and ball moving football against a team we seem to suck balls against made me think shit Im so glad we didnt make CL because I do not think the board would of fired Del Neri because he would of reached the teams objective and we would still be playing that horrible kick and run football which who knows what players would of came in. Floaccari maybe lol. Anyways again I know its early but we can obviously see the changes Conte has already made and im happy with what I see. It finally looks like we have a solid base to work off of and I just (and I am literally) pray to god he can instil that winning, confidence and strong mentality we need to not make stupid costly mistakes that we did last season and win those games against the Parmas, Chievos, Sienas and especially those fucks from Palermo and Napoli.
Conte want's to try to copy the old style of play in his days and they bought the players to make that happen. One of the first things he said was: "Do not play with long ball's and don't play the ball back to Buffon but keep it into play". This is a great example he want's to dominate like in the old days and you're right that it's a gift from above that Del Neri didn't make the champions league
