Of course it will be bad Chelsea ain't the centre of the world right now, and these comments, frankly, are daft. I'd much rather have Chelsea players come sooner than Conte. He's actually thinking about Chelsea even now, by sending the Spanish home early. You know, Fabregas, Azpi, Pedro will be all rested for that meaningless friendly. While Conte is going to play a Euro Quarter Final against Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get this kind of Conte at Chelsea then we should be back in top 4 next season without a doubt. This will also make the league harder, as you assume City with Pep, United with Mourinho, Liverpool with Klopp and us with Conte would be quality. Not forgetting all the other teams with good managers....wonder if Arsenal will be left behind this season because of Wenger or will make it like always.... I still wish we had one more crazy manager in Bielsa at some team in the EPL. And then we will be complete and ready to kill ourselves.

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Just studying Conte's italy Pelle Eder Giacherinni De-siglo Derossi Parolo Florenzi Cheilini Bonucci Barzagli Buffon Possible Chelsea line-up Gomez Costa Hazard Azpilicueta Matic Cesc Willian Cahill {passing centerback} Iva Courtois We need a tall striker, and a defender that can pass badly. Watching Pelle hold up play with both high and low balls reminded me that costa hates jumping. Gomez would be perfect for the big striker role.

Maybe he's evolved over time, or maybe he was a bit unlucky (after all no one was beating the Bayern team that knocked him out), or maybe a bit if both? I haven't been following Italian football that much so cant give an answer myself. On a random note however, could you imagine the media right now if he was heading to United or Liverpool? Especially the latter. guddy69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman60 1,343 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 so far in this tournament I have been more and more impressed with Conte. He has brought what is thought to be the worst Italian team in years to the quarter finals and has gotten his tactics spot on each game. He has demolished both Belgium and Spain without conceding a goal and has instilled a strong bond within the side. So far they look very good. If he can instill confidence and get our lads to believe in themselves again, and employ suitable tactics I think we will do well next season. One thing is definite. We wont be rolled over as easily as we were last time, because if I played for him and lost, I'd be scared stiff to go into the dressing room. Can you imagine the bollocking you'd get !!! Alex Ferguson's boot kick at Beckham wouldn't come close to what he'd do to you!! Stats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Some bitter twats say it's all down to Buffon, Bonucci, Barzagli & Chiellini, but they seem to forget that Italy(Juventus)'s defence has Conte's signature all over it....

Especially the latter. Oh it was definitely a bit of both, mate, at least in my opinion. He was unlucky in the CL draw on one hand (not to mention THAT disgraceful match that should not have been against Galatasaray), but on the other he also failed to win the Coppa Italia in any of his 3 seasons at Juve despite being massive favorites for it in his last 2 seasons there. Yes, Juve had a sort of mental block for winning that 10th Coppa Italia since the late nineties, but Conte as well frustratingly refused to adapt his team according to the strengths of Napoli and Lazio. Imo, the matches against Belgium and Spain show a level of reading and understanding of opposition teams better than he ever showed at Juve which would suggest that he has evolved in that respect.. kellzfresh, Fernando, Starman60 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,585 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Just like Mourinho was over a decade ago. Now he is just a shadow, but this happens to mostly every manager I know. Fabio Capello, Arrigo Sacchi, Wenger (Did great over a decade ago), Benitez (Did great at Valencia many years ago) etc etc. The only exception has been SAF, and I think the problem here is that everyone thinks that because SAF did it anyone can do it. Wrong, if we look at the trend most managers have a shelve life that of players. We should not get enamored by anyone for the sake of stability. If we can get 3 good years out of him that should be fine. Look at how City has been doing. 3 years with Mancini, next by Pelle, next by Pep. 3 to 5 years should be the max unless he is the exception like SAF.

De Rossi is actually the dm, he often is (in the defensive phase) almost on the same line as the cb. Against Spain he was higher up. De Rossi Parolo-Giaccherini 3-5-2 Wouldn't really work with the kind of players we have. Imagine Fabregas in the dm role (Pirlo role), or as one of the two midfielders, that would be tragic. Cahill and Ivanovic wouldn't work also in a three man defence. I still think we will go with a 4-4-2 Essien19 and kellzfresh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmin 2,484 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I would love to have a 3-5-2 system at Chelsea. I don't know why everyone seems to think that it's old and it's not gonna work. Maybe because we got too used with the annoying and boring 4-2-3-1 and we cannot accept other systems anymore. Football nowadays is won by those who have the guts to inovate. Look at Pep's Barca or at Simeone's Atletico. They both brought something special to football, they didn't respect the trends and they won things! Conte is that kind of guy too. If we don't have the players that he needs to build a team the way he wants it, then the club has to bring him those players. I would sign Giaccherini in a heartbeat. kellzfresh and MefiX19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
