Antonio Conte (182 Viewers)

[K.O.]

Whatever the selection, there is no excuse to get hammered by this Italy squad like that. Conte is getting the boys to punch way over their weight. Del Bosque has his guys performing at their average level.

No doubt. Give Conte that exact Spanish team and he'd dominate and destroy everyone on his way to the title.

he's gonna do that with this italy team.

 

[Vialli_92]

When you see Spain just booting the ball forwards when Italy hardly have a stellar midfield then you know they got the approach spectacularly wrong, it was actually easy at times.

No Xavi and Iniesta playing like world beaters. His tactics were poor last night not having both of them running the show.

They underachieved, but won a WC?

Compared to France and Spains best generation they did. If it wasn't for that wc they would be classed same as the argentina of today.

 

[Zacheryah]

Haha same feeling.

Italy are actually better off facing teams from the bracket of death. They simply matchup well against the big teams imo.

I would say the same for Portugal.

At the moment Portugal is getting pretty forgotten. But like a classic italy, when they have to 'not lose' rather then "must win', the situation changes dramatically.

 

[Hængebøffer]

Del Bosque a motivator? Lol

 

[Seven]

He's the best tactician in the tournament, that much is obvious. And it's playing into his hands from now on, no more Sweden's or Ireland's, it'd be Germany, France and probably Belgium were they to progress through, all sides his underdog approach would fit well with.

Of course he's not bad tactically, but the 3-5-2 does get old. Imo Conte's not about master tactical ideas, but about bringing determination to his players. Every player coached by him says he felt Conte got the maximum out of him.

Thing is, the 3-5-2 is the ideal formation to make this kind of coaching work, as it gets the best out of motivational play. Its horrible to play against a 3-5-2 that has each player run 12km/90mins


Btw, Giac ran 12.97km against Spain.


12.97km.


Dafuq.


I know teams in red who barely made 9 cause too buzy finding a purse that fitted their nail polish

Yeah, I agree. I think for the way Conte wants his team to play, it's the perfect set up. But so far it's also all I've ever seen him do. Then again, I think the motivational aspect of a coach is just as, if not more, important.

The problem Del Bosque is facing, is that he is in the end of a cycle and still clinched to it because of past glories.

He pulled a Lippi 2010.

2 euro's is 'the same as argentina', who havent won a shit since '93 ?

Exactly what i was thinking.

Marchisio as trequartista and 4231 formation

Pepedihno was Italy's best player

While its okay to make the 10 euro jokes, i hope this european championship puts an end to people questionning the tactical ability of Conte, and just how critically important it was when he returned that undying winning mentality to juventus when we were a bunch of spineless shitfags choking about. Beeing Inter basically.

This italy, is '11-'12 all over again. Precise tactical execution, world class organisation, players playing twice as good as they should, (4 times as good in Giac's case), and winning clutch games. Conte didnt lose a single game in '11-'12. I hope he can repeat it.


Seeing his passion on the sideline and the glorious playstyle, and reminding Allegri's passion and tactical ability this season, we can only consider ourselves truely blessed by the great man to have had such wonderfull amazing coaches. we shouldnt compare them or bash them.

Terribly mediocre generation of Italian players and prolly even worse than today. What possessed him to make this ludicrous decision of taking over Azzurri's bench is baffling.

Italy would have been better had he taken Rossi and Cassano but still, an awful team.

No team in that Serie A was as strong as Germany though, even France.
