Conte was MUCH more attacking. Allegri allows more freedom but Conte has much more combinatorial play between mids and forwards, better movements in front, much more intensity.
conte had a great midfield: he could field 2 top passers completing one of the best passers ever. allegri reached a cl final with pirlo, vidal, marchisio and pogba, while conte couldn't get out of the group with the same team (+ evra, + morata, whose only good games came under allegri). now we have one single good passer (pjanic) at the middle of the pitch, and while i rate him very, very highly, i'm not sure he would have been a regular player in the same team with our 2015 midfield. our mvp+pogba was one of the most complete midfields i've seen. still, conte's team failed against teams like benfica or galatasaray with them. i'm not blaming it on conte alone, i'm just saying that the conte nostalgia should stop before we really get started. allegri was a step up in both gameplay and european consistency over conte.
you want intensity? let's hope we hire a better fitness coach team and won't sell out our wingers. from the current team, berna, costa, cancelo, ronaldo, kean, cuadrado, spina, sandro, and maybe emre can could be suited for that physical, fast, headless chicken style that those english fuckers play. also, dybala could be useful against more open teams. add some fresh, hopefully motivated guys like ndombélé, zaniolo, tonali, and try to make that kind of very agressive game we played against atleti to be our 2nd nature. and keep pjanic, he's our only guarantee if we ever want to hold onto the ball. and costa needs a brain transplant asap.
