One shortcoming of his while at Juventus that I think is overlooked is the fact that he couldnt fit Marchisio, Vidal, Pogba, and Pirlo into one midfield. If im not mistaken hes only tried this at the end of the 12/13 season playing Marchisio behind Vucinic and against Madrid while again giving Marchisio and offensive role.

Conte on the task ahead of him: "The coach is a tailor who must make best dress for team. Three at the back, four at the back, it is not important.
"We have started to work on different aspects and every manager has their own idea of football. I want to transfer my idea, my methods. This is a great challenge and is the right moment for me to arrive in England. I like this, I like the challenge and to prove myself."
Conte on fitness: "The Premier League is tough; it is high intensity compared to other tournaments. If you want to win, you have to play attractive football but also have good physical condition. Usually if you have great organisation and talent with the players, and you run more, you have more productivity to win."
Conte on his touchline antics: "I don't know if it is a good thing but I have a great passion for my team and players. I like to stay with my players in training - to play with them, to lose with them. I have great passion and I want to transfer that to my players and fans.
"I suffer during the game, I want my players and fans to see this because we work hard during the week and I am not happy when we don't reach our target."
Conte on transfers: "I prefer to speak to the club about this and to take the decision about players together. You don't need to take just the champions, you need to take those who can adapt to our football and our philosophy. It is not right to say names because these players are at other teams - I don't like other managers speaking about my players."
Conte on being "super coach" along with Mourinho, Klopp and Guardiola: "It is fantastic. There are many players with great talent in the league but there are good managers, too. It is a great challenge but it is not a challenge between managers - it is between great teams and players."
Conte on pressure of the job: "The pressure for me is not important, I was born with pressure. It's normal. You must play to win, to win the title, to reach your targets. This League is difficult and this year won't be east but this situation excites me. We must work every day, every week, because the fans need to find the team ready to fight."
Conte on Italy: "I decided to leave the national teambecause I wanted to breath the grass and improve the players day by day. For this reason, I decided to go back to club management. I had this great opportunity to speak to Chelsea and I am very happy we found a fantastic solution."
Conte on message to his players: "I like to work and I know only the road to winning and to take the club back to competing in the Champions League and winning the title - work, work, work. I have found the right attitude from the players and I am very happy about this."
Conte asked what his nickname is: "I'll let the British press choose a name out of respect."
On Brexit and bridging the gap with Europe: "Along with other Italian coaches like Claudio Ranieri at Leicester, I think we all feel responsible for the image of representing Italy abroad. I am clued up on the customs of the country and when you arrive in a new country you keep a low profile to learn the customs."
Conte ends with this showstopper...
"I felt very emotional about coming here. I am very proud and I've worked very hard. I think Chelsea are underrated and we can surprise people. I hope there is a small flame flickering that can turn into a towering inferno."
