Things I learned on Twitter- some Chelsea fans know Serie A players better than Conte & players can't get better unless they're in PL

 

LOL

Conte: "I like it if my team plays with great aggression and high intensity. I like to see that" #CFC (GWL)

Conte: "We train to prepare for that because I want my team to have an identity" #CFC (GWL)

Conte: "I want it so that if you see us, you recognise 'Oh, Chelsea are playing'. That is important for me, for the club and the owner" #CFC

Conte: "Everywhere I have been I have worked at that. I always gave an identity to my teams." #CFC (GWL)

Conte: "I am searching to transfer this to my players now, and I am pleased because I see a great attitude" #CFC (GWL)

Fucking finaly. I been thinking about it for ages. The only way to win the game is to play football, not to defend. If you start defending, you can only hope luck is on your side.

When Juve was playing Bayern, that was clear as day. They attacked and got lead 2:0. When they parked the bus, they conceded 4 goals. Same with us against PSG for past two years, yet people were saying tactics were good.

If you play top opponent, you need to take ball away from them if you can. Why the hell would you let them pass and attack for whole game and give them 100 chances. If possible, always take the ball away from them and attack them. Teams who are great in possesion struggle when pressed and play great when in possesion. Their defences get all confused if you press because they are not used to that. And yet teams always park buses and let them play their way. No shit you concede at one point because we dont have such great defense anyway.

There is a reason why teams like Barca dominate for years while Chelsea, Inter, Portugal happens very rarely.

Im glad Conte knows that defending for 90min is lottery.

There must be happy medium. Normaly you need to defend, but for past three years our key CL games were disaster. No attacking desire whatsoever.

True. In our case with our backline doing that would basically be the equivalent of offering yourself to get fucked in the arse.

"Chelsea should clinch the signing of full-back Marcos Alonso before the transfer deadline but may have to cope without midfielder Marcelo Brozovic. Antonio Conte has been keen to recruit Brozovic but it looks set to be a complicated process to get him out of Inter Milan before the market closes on Wednesday. Chelsea are also searching for a central defender and are prepared to take one on loan as cover after failing to land any of their top targets."

What the fuck happened to us? Fucking hell we had months. De ja vu for the board, it's really unacceptable. Complete and utter shambles.

Need a striker too Antonio, like quickly.

It really is embarrassing. Chelsea are one of the biggest, richest clubs in the world and we may have to resort to scrambling for a loan signing of of a CB on the final day of the transfer window. The one position we most needed heading into the summer. Shocking, really.

We also can't sign this dude from Inter when they supposedly don't even want him and are replacing him with a new signing? It's just comical. 

Something must be going on in regards to the new stadium. It's the only legitimate excuse as to why we aren't spending. But you know what would help fund a new stadium? Fucking CL football money and possibly winning the title! Both of which are monumental asks without more top class signings.

Our club may emerge from this summer looking like complete amateurs. Almost as bad as last summer.

The only time that realization will hit is after this window has gone, nobody else comes in and we get bad injuries and suspensions...you watch how threadbare we start to look.

28 mil for alonso when it is possible to buy de sciglio for 18-20..

incredible transfermarket..

caceres remains the only cb we can take in this moment (for maksimovic they want 30 mil ie three times his real value)

And it will be Conte's head rolling when things go south, not Granovskaia's, Emenalo's or whoever the fuck is dealing with transfers.

[Laylabelle 9,373]

Thing is stadium hasn't even be approved yet! So maybe wait for that before holding back completly? Same situation go into the window needing a handful of players come out with sod all..yay..

Thing is you know injuries will happen so guess grin and bearit.m.

[Parky 739]

With his latest signings maybe he wants to go back to his 3-5-2 ?

                 

          Batshuayi---Costa

                  Hazard           

             Matic-----Kante

Alonso                            Cesar

         Zouma--Terry---Luiz

 

 

 

[Antonio8 736]

conte has to do a miracle to win this premier..

alonso and david luiz..

Rio Ferdinand claims Conte put the players through the hardest pre season training ever.

And that's without taking drugs Rio

[Amblève. 4,995]

How depressing if true. Gary fucking Cahill?!

 

[blu35_army 551]

i think increase number of passes almost 400 is Kante alone...

[The_Flash 1,144]

I wasn't sure at first and to be honest didn't know much about him but in the few games we've had this season, I am loving his passion and excitement for the game. His reactions already legendary, I think he could be a dark horse in the background of the battle of Mourinho vs Guardiola. 

I think good things could be coming.

I was thinking the same but for now I would like to see 442

Courtois
Azpi - Ivke/Terry - Luiz - Alonso
Willian - Fab/Oscar - Kante - Hazard
Mitchy - Costa

But Conte now have enough depth in CB position to play 3 at the back. Luiz and Alonso could work very well as ball playing defenders
