    What has he won? League titles with the best squads? Even his Napoli team had 9 champions in it, buongiorno and mctominay the other 2, and it only had.to play once a week.

    His record in Europe says more about his actual level imo.

    Regarding Lang. He played an average game.
    He didn't get past anyone, his crossing were not good, he didnt really create anything. He looked like his Napoli self. He just happened to be in the right place at the right time twice.

    But maybe that is his strength in knowing where the danger is in the box.

    The only difference is that Gala's manager isnt a pu55y and actually allow his players to press high and try to play positive football.

    Conte press is more held back and inspired by caution (being a pussy)

    Winner. Yeah, right, winner when losing is difficult, then he can somehow win, but if you coach the best teams, you are bound to win sometimes, there is a law like that somewhere.

    Do not take me wrong, I would even be okay with losing, but then hearing him, as a man with a job and its disproportionate salary, saying that being the worst team in Europe right there with Slovan fkng Bratislava, 1 billionth of our budget, is actually going above and beyond, and praising himself how he is doing such a great job, makes one laugh at him.

    He is the biggest pussy in football, but I guess the Neapolitan fans just like pussy too much to see clearly.

    Literally makes 0 sense. 8 of Conte's players reached the CL quarter finals (and should have gone to the final) while destroying the Serie A, a year prior to Conte's hiring.

    My point stands and I have always said it. The story of him inheriting a team that finished 10th has been the narrative pushed by Conte and idiots alike.
    Its the same team but with mctominay intead of zielinski, lukaku instead of osimhen and Buongiorno instead of Kim.

    The 3 new players where arguably players of the season for long stretches of that scudetto run.

    He lost Kvara midway through yes and he has been vocal about it. But that was his own doing playing him behind mctominay and Lukaku. At times i couldn't tell the difference between kvaratskhelia and Oliveira because they both stood in the backline.
    Of course a 100 million forward would want to leave under those circumstances.

    Lautaro injured? He got subbed out. Inter losing 3-1 right now to Bodo.

    probably just rotation. Inter's goal was a huge VAR mistake as well. both augusto and pio had a slight hand on it. the rules are clear on this one: should have been disallowed.

    Italian football in free fall yet again against teams that play moderns positive football and don't dive.
    What works in Italy will not work in Europe simply because of the refs allowing diving defenders in serie a, so there is no reason to press in Italy - along with more.

    The ref even called in favour of Inter in most of the game, which makes this an even worse view of Serie

    IMO Inter should beat Bodo at home, but it will take a lot out of them to advance.

    Lautaro had some kind of calf strain.

    KdB, meanwhile, is back to training on Monday. Despite the 11-point gap, I think Napoli can get to within 4-6 points to them towards early April to keep things interesting.

    I honestly think a big reason for that is the way games are being officiated in Italy. In Italy you can completely avoid this thing called "tempo" by feeling a slight touch from the opponent then go down - and the refs will always give it. In Europe how many times do we have to look at Serie A sides getting surprised the refs don't call their "defensives dives"? How many times do we watch the opponent overrun our teams?

    + the league is cannibalizing itself with all these boring ass back 5s and only 1 or 2 forwards having a literal WWE fight against them, I call it WWE because there's more simulation going on than fight.

    We need modern managers that play back 4s and actually want to attack and play with some sort of tempo, to occupy all the top clubs. It starts with the head of the snake or whatever.

    Conte, Allegri, Insaghi and now Chivu all play this weird 5 defenders shit that no one wants to look at. Spalletti and Cesc are the exception but they don't have top level squads at their disposal atm. I also think managers like Gasperini and Italiano are blown out of proportion for the way they are "attacking managers that play positive/inspiring football" - they also play with back 5s.

    it's boring and no one wants to look at a bunch of defenders either sat in their own box or pretending to be wingers or creative midfielders. Who the ******** needs that.

    just give me 4 defenders and the rest to be players capable of playing further up - I dont want to look at Mathias Oliveira and Bastoni being inverted wingbacks (or whatever the ******** they do) instead of actually you know having an extra attacking midfielder/winger on the pitch

    Chivu is scared to really innovate he is just taking what’s been working and continuing it.

    I saw the game Como played with bravery something Conte is too scared of. They invested players forwards when they won the ball because it works against this Juve side. Cesc is actually thinking while conte is stuck in his old ways

    Judging from the results on all sides and especially Inter, the title chase is a joke. But I take back that we will not make top 4. Juventus are so bad that I do not think it is possible for a team like ours to not make it, even if our coach was a raging alcoholic with gonorrhea. (Which is what I would have probably preferred at this point.)

    I don't know who threatened Conte with my big dic* in his ass if he did not start Alisson, but I think you should all thank me.

    Good chance for Palladino to show his chops. Great atmosphere in Bergamo.
