[Thread] Why Antonio Conte is one of the best coaches in the World?

Reflecting on his achievements, Football philosophy, Tactics at Chelsea and at Inter.
Also debunking the myth that he plays defensive Football

(RT's appreciated and Follow me if you like this type of content)

Antonio Conte took charge of Juventus when they were in 7th place and won Serie A after Calciopoli (Calciopoli was a Serie A match-fixing scandal)

He won 3 consecutive scudettos and from there he created and cemented the Juventus dynasty that lasted 9 consecutive seasons.

People often like to discredit Conte winning the Scudetto with Juventus this but it's important to remind you that Juve was not this Elite and Super powerful club with WC players that they are nowadays.

He won the Scudetto with playes like: Vucinic,Giovinco,Asamoah,etc

He conquered Italy and now it was time to conquer England. He went to Chelsea and in his first ever season he won the PL and got 93 points which is impressive if you think about it, Arsenal's Invincibles only got 90 points and Ferguson's Treble winning team only got 79 pts.

In England Conte revolutionized the League from a Tactical perspective coming with a new system (3-4-3) which no one used at that time and created a Tactical Trend that still lasts to this day.

Just like Eddie Howe explains it here

Conte's system is based upon having patterns of play/automatisms where everything you see on the pitch has been previously trained on the training ground over and over again until movements are memorised.

Hazard on Conte: "We work a lot of tactical positions and we know exactly what we have to do on the pitch,where I have to go and where the defenders have to go"
I like to call Conte the "Playstation coach" because his teams really give the impression of being remotely controlled

This is one of the most important attributes in a Manager because very few Managers have the access to WC players who are the Finished Product. Instead of it Conte is a great developer of Talent,so he takes good players and turns them into World Class players

One of the greatest examples of it has been Lukaku's development under Conte.
Lukaku was discredited/mocked and often criticized for supposedly lacking technical ability and just being a generic Target Man.
But Conte had a different opinion.

He saw Huge Potential in Lukaku.

Conte on Lukaku: "I will never forget that many were calling him overrated and that we overpaid for him. I said that Lukaku was a diamond that needed work and with work he has become extraordinary."

It was time for Conte to train and improve Lukaku

Lukaku: "For the first three months at Inter, Conte did nothing but train me with my back to the goal. At each training, he would put Ranocchia (1.95 meters, 82 kg) behind me and asked him to go hard against me. Every time I lost the ball, we had to start the drill again.”

Lukaku has now 29 G+A in 32 Games

At Inter he's going to win Inter's first League Title in the last 11 years and he's breaking records having a better "average points per game" rate then all of the previous Inter coaches even above Mourinho who is the only coach who has won a Treble in the History of Serie A.

Another common myth is that Conte is a Defensive Coach,well that's clearly a Myth, on the contrary he plays amazing Football to watch.

I'll be showing that in a couple of clips.

One of the most unique things about Conte's Inter is the fact that Inter plays with 2 CF's something quite rare nowadays.

Here's how the CF's Combinations work.
