exactly, imho DC never lacked talent, him Giovinco and Marchisio convinced me since serie B days.
What DC lacked the most is consistency and mental stability, since the days CR never gave him a chance to sub, his son Molinaro...
And maybe Conte can do smth about his mental condition, as he is a proven to be great player handler, but there is little he can for his fitness status that has been ruined in the past years...
