Not true.
Pretty much
Really? Sauce?
It was the most pure form of antifootball. Take the ball, keep it and do nothing with it on purpose.
I liked very much when Inter eliminated them at their peak, and Bayern trashed them for good measure.
It is by far the worst thing that happened to football. When teams part the bus, they'll try to counter, and you are free to attack them. Barcelona takes the ball, so you cant do anything with it, and doesnt do anythign with it themselves. Pure antifootball.
So glad that a few organised teams decided to totally $#@! it, that they had to change to their current style.

Pure cattanacio allows you to attack them, and they'll counter you.
Tiki taki is basically, we have the ball, we do nothing with it, you do nothing with it, everyone falls a sleep, pass to messi goal fpafapfapcum$#@! astronomical football messias zzzzzz

I personally find our style a lot more aesthetically pleasing under Allegri. Less "schemes" and repeated movements and more freedom for our attacking players. Conte's Juve from the first half of the 11/12 season played some sexy football TBH. And it's incredible that we played amazing football with a frontline of
Pepe - Matri - Vucinic
Our midfield was obviously world class and Pirlo was the best regista in the world too.

Conte was a rigid tactician in a sense that almost every movement and pass came from the training ground. But we played a high-intensity, proactive game under Conte. We attacked and didn't settle for a 1-0. And we had a higher possession %. Conte's game was more direct and faster. I think we lost the ball more often but won it back immediately. Conte played a defensive and counterattacking game only a handful of times (games vs Roma and Celtic come to mind), and they were to great effect.
Allegri is more pragmatic. We often begin closing a game down pretty early on in 2nd half when we have a 1-goal lead. He was happy to defend for over 2 hrs vs Monaco. And we don't try to maintain a high level of intensity for the duration of the game but rather in 10-min bursts (Mourinho does the same). Allegri relies more on patient build-up and is happy to cease possession of the ball more often esp when we're leading. Allegri also gives the attackers, particularly the SS, more freedom.
I prefer Allegri's pragmatic approach more now, but back then, Conte's approach was better for us, that's what was needed then. Fitness, being proactive, playing with high intensity, and playing for 90 mins became paramount under Conte. Before, we weren't as fit, we didn't look to dictate and dominate games as much, weren't as intense, and didn't maintain the intensity and sharpness for 90 mins (often became complacent after scoring - a very Italian thing to do as far as calcio is concerned). Conte turned it around and raised the mental and physical bars.
And yes, Allegri has a better team. Dybala, Morata, Alex Sandro, and Cuadrado are much easier on the eye compared to Quagliarella, Matri, Vucinic, De Ceglie, Giaccherini, Pepe.
Kudos. I doubt they'll be match-fit for Napoli, but they being in contention for that game means they'll likley be ready to go vs Bayern. Good news.
Even if we don't win, the margin of defeat will surely be important. If it's another 0-2 and 2-0, that won't look good. But if we lose, say, on away goals, that'll look different.

The roma game was a snoozefest as was the last game. Conte's team had so many aesthetically pleasing goals be it Pirlo through balls (to licht, marchisio or Giacherini) or long shots from Pogba. There were so many gems out there as well as boring grinded out results. I'd say both teams are about the same aesthetic level.
One big difference though is that Conte's team was a lot more frustrating because of how wasteful the attack was. I can't count the times I wanted to pull my hair out watching Vucinic, Matri or Quags waste easy chances. We create less now but we finish them chances with confidence.

We create less now ?
Wholeheartedly disagree..
I have even voiced my criticisms on the negatives of the current side.They are just not clinical enough.We waste too many chances.
I say this with conviction that Allegri's team create more chances than Conte's but part of the reason also has to do with fact that the team has better group of attackers like i mentioned in my above post.
