Some are acting like Conte is a caricature of himself, not the real person. We had a bunch of scrubs and with him won undefeated, his serie A record still isn't broken with the hugely improved team we have. He beat Pep, Klopp and Mou in England. Took the worst Italy ever and made them contenders in the euros. With Conte we never sat back to defend, it was always pushing to control the game, I don't understand the comments about him making us more defensive, it's with Allegri that we sit back and welcome the opposition many times.
Ronaldo presses, trains and runs like a mad man. Conte would love him. If he managed lazy uninterested Hazard then he would love Ronaldo. Let's not forget that Vucinic was Conte's #1 striker.
Yes what he did then was good but he wouldnt improve us in europe. Also i dont think long term this undefeated thing matters if it becomes a case of as long as we draw its fine. He drew 15 games that season.
Also Conte isnt magician. He hasnt done anyhing in CL. Just like we can praise him we can remind he finished 3rd in his last CL campain with us with players like Tevez, Pirlo, Vidal, Pogba etc. How did we manage that. That Turkey Galatasaray mud pitch is no excuse. Why did it come down to that final game. Then Allegri comes in and says first hing is to improve in europe and we do it with same squad Conte had.
People are overreacting about Conte winning mentality. He is also a lets not lose mentality. We drew games in CL against some minnows away in europe i remember. Conte wont improve us in europe. Also we have worse midfield these days so if he couldnt get out of group with MPPV then what he will do with this current team.
My point regarding Ronaldo was more like people also said Diego Costa was ideal for Conte cause he had that grinta mentality. See what happened. They fell out. Ronaldo has big ego. Conte clashes with players like that. The only player with big ego back then was Pogba but he was a kid then. Before fame got to him and in uk he now thinks his best mid ever.
People are forgetting the negative sides with Conte. His obsessed with his formations. Now people say we have squad for 3-4-3. How? And when he was here people said you cant win in europe with back 3. And that has been proven right ultimately. We shouldnt play back 3 just so Rugani gets more minutes. Forget about CL glory if you cant win with back 3. Conte is a winner mentality but also incredible stubborn.
At this stage if its between Zidane or Conte. For sure Zidane. You cant critic Zidane record and he would get best out of Ronaldo.
Funny how people are defending him now when he left most ridiculed him after his 10-100 euros comments. He shouldnt have said that. Could have parted in happy ways and simply said 3-4 years is enough at one club which seems to be the case these days. Times of Fergie/Wenger decade remainings are over. Thats why i also think it would be natural for Allegri to go. 5 years now. Its long enough time. Time for new manager with new ideas.
