Hello, I am a Juventus italian fan and maybe I can help you to understand which kind of coach Conte is...(sorry for my english, I hope you will understand) When he arrived in Juventus, he fo

For more proactive football, we seriously need a whole new back 4. Not sure if even Azpilicueta is good enough for that. Or if Zouma's ball playing capabilities are too limited for that. But at least, that means a new LCB and a new LB. At least.

Conte: "I think that Kante can give a lot to Chelsea. To enforce a zone very important for us. We want to play with 2 central midfielders."

I really, really hope he means 2CMs in a 4-2-4 and not a 4-2-3-1. And I hope with "We" he means himself and his assistants, and not himself, his assistants, and whoever was already at the club.


We seriously need new defenders if we don't want to be so deep and defensive all the time, or we'll see this "pre-season" for the whole the season.

i think Bonucci would be a great signing, just what we need in defense, and Zouma will be like a new signing once he returns from injury, let´s hope.

Bonucci is not coming, sadly. Never was going to happen. One of Koulibaly or Mustafi and Rodriguez for the LB would do.

I'm a Juventus supporter and guys, let's calm down. Conte never won a single pre-season match. Never. He uses them to try out new things. Believe me, he will do good

A Random Juve Fan.

I saw this too from a Juve fan on another forum:

Skeleton or not, you won’t enjoy watching Conte’s team in pre-season. He will run them ragged with double seasons daily to improve their fitness.. He lost his very first pre-season with Juve too, and won a couple with uninspiring 1-0s. Be prepared for a shock. You will see a completely different Chelsea against West ham on the first day of the season in comparison to what you’ll see during the pre-season. I still remember the first game of the season against Parma, 90 minutes of tireless non stop attack.

I don´t read too much in to pre season, the main thing is to try tactics, and to get the players mentally and physically ready for the start of the season.

Juve's pre-season results in Conte's first season hardly looks as bad as that Juve fan suggested.

His last season at Juve though...

I never expected any results from pre season to be honest.

With lads not back from Euros, new signings not in yet, Conte only at his new job 2 days before st one. theres been no training as such yet. No work at all with formations or experimenting

This mess isn't going to be sorted over night no matter who we sign or which manager is in charge

BUT IF Conte is given the time and support from Roman and US (plus sorts out our fuckin defence) then I think we have got,are getting and will get the manager and players to be good for years to come.

Players weren't coming back from an international tourney then either. 

This is a different circumstance and one that you have to take in stride.

Italy didn't play well during Conte's friendlies too, he was experimenting here and there, but they were different during euros.

I don't know what it is, whether its his lack of English(though he's pretty good) or if its his passion or just my blind optimism but I get this feeling Antonio Conte is going to rewrite the history books for Chelsea FC. There is something about this guy... I can't quite put my finger on it but I just feel his demeanour and work ethic will be the perfect compliment to what we have on and off the pitch.

It would be amazing if he leaves Jose and Pep trailing in their wake like Jose himself did to Fergie and Wenger when he arrived the first time.
