Thing is that Marotta and Conte honestly buy all of this $#@! that we're an attacking team. When Benfica's coach yesterday said that we're a typical defensive Italian team Marotta got offended as if it now not the truth:
“Conte’s football is primarily attacking, both in Italy and in Europe. We certainly don’t use catenaccio tactics. If you want to say we are smart and efficient, then that’s fine, but these comments only serve to further motivate us.”
Playing with 9 defensive minded players, calls us attacking. And in Europe

Yeah, we showed all of those teams in Europe our amazing offensive abilities.
