Look at conte changing his tactics when needed. Meanwhile united employ amorim who only knows how to play one formation, no flexibility whatsoever ๐ข
He has been humbled ๐๐๐
3-5-2 became Conte's staple in Juventus.
Conte's Spurs side was possibly the most boring team I've ever watched. It was insane how little they played forwards.
Don't you know that Conte changed his module in Juventus from 4-2-4 to 3-5-2 going for the first time to a back 3?
The end is nigh
Guy playing real life fm.. ๐๐
Can he give my guy Amorim some advice. He doesnโt have the personnel to play a back 3 and itโs killing my team man.
Because of injuries
Conte has changed very little at Napoli as he already found a einning structure; he must thanks a well managed Club already; both sides must thank eachothers and Conte will stay longer and not going anywhere else too!
man he didn't surprised Inter, Inter got 2 massive injuries with Hakan and Dimarco with Inter recents injuries they had to switch formation to a 4 4 2 with Dumfries and Frattesi as RM and LM
Make a video on Olympiacos, before they win back to back European titles – we did it before they were cool kind of deal
Yes I did notice that
Sure he did swtich Chelsea and so on, but he started using the 352 back in his Juve days when he had one of the best defensive trio in Barzagli-Bonucci-Chiellini. He almost alway stick to it for 15 years. That makes it all the more surprising that he prefers the 433/4231 now and shows his adaptability
It was that combined with the questionable sub from Inzaghi (he subbed bastoni off) that led to the equalizer
Did you notice how Antonio Conte has used the Very same 4-3-3 set up he used at Tottenham to accomodate Scott McTominay's style of play resulting in Napoli Being the Best attacking Serie A team this season hence their remarkable performance well round
Conte is underrated…
I mean not surprising since 352 and 433 is a perfect man-to-man matchup
love these videos man
He will probably win the Seria A this season like he did in his first season with inter millanโคโคโค
I love Conte's flexibility.. No offence, Ruben should do this too specially the serious chaos going on at Utd… I love identical playing style but nowadays you need to make tactical tweak based on your opponents… Even Pep changed in January, tried overlapping Full back formula, put extra Midfielder against Spurs..
