It's funny how a lot of people on goal.com say he built Juve and Max is enjoying the squad Conte created. He was a fine coach for us but it was Marotta that created this juve and Conte's juve, no need to say he brought Pogba, Pirlo, Vidal, Lichtsteiner, Tevez, etc. Anyway I'm grateful to Conte for restoring the winning mentality and I wish him the very best wherever he decides to go.
Hating on this man is not right. We are supposed to be classy like our team is!

Its one thing to say: I am hungry.
Its another thing to say I am hungry and would love to have pizza. I saw my brother eating pizza and now I want pizza.
Its one thing to say: I am poor
Its another thing to say: I have to make more money. I have rent and bills to pay and the money I make is insufficient to cover my costs.
Its one thing to say: She is hot.
Its another thing to say: She has great boobs and a great ass. You can see how her hips are perfectly curved and her face is very sexy too.
In each of these, the second line is a longer explanation of the first line. What you wrote is the same. Sadly in a post match press conference, a coach has to give a fuller explanation of what he means and not just two word sentences.
Its not like he said anything false either. Juve in 2012 is not what it is now. And even now what he said still rings true. You are insulted because you have the old Juve idea in your head that has been gone since 2006. Money is a major factor in football especially if you will compete with well managed wealthy giants on a consistent basis. It always has and always will.

When someone says Conte built it, they don't actually mean that he bought the players. He is the coach and not the transfer director after all. What they do mean is that he got the group to work together very effectively (an area where multiple Juve coaches failed before him and we see our competitors still struggling to do the same), installed a default formation that the team knows really well (3-5-2), improved many individual players (Barzagli, Pirlo, Marchisio, Bonucci for example) and instilled a big team winning mentality in the entire squad.
I do not think that he built this team though. Sure some very important players are still here, as is the winning mentality and the formation but a lot of our squad today never saw Conte. This season's squad is Allegri's and its only natural that he will build on what was already there. If he changed the 2 attackers (one of which is our best player), 1 midfielder and 1 Lb and still doesn't get credit for it then it is impossible for a new coach to ever get credit for his work.
