How Conte will change Chelsea?
Chelsea officially announced the appointment of Antonio Conte manager next season. The Italian will have a lot of work on the "Bridge" because of the heavy season. But he has already proven to be doing perfectly in similar situations. It Conte is the architect of this team Juventus, who after the scandal Kachopoli wandering in search of the right man. Find it in the face of Conte, who returned the "old lady" at the top. But what will change at Chelsea to achieve the same success in England?
The attitude towards players: motivators like Mourinho
In communication with the players, Conte is similar to former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho. Like Ronaldo, he is known as a great motivator, and it is very popular among the players. For example, Juventus managed to tame the rebel English football Carlos Tevez. Under his leadership, the Argentine showed the best football of his career, obediently follow the instructions of the coach and scored in every game. This is the second feature of Conte - requires each competitor to perform a clear plan on the field.
Tactics: Robust Protection
Conte's strategy is based primarily on a strong line of defense. Three seasons at Juventus used a scheme with three central defenders. His favorite is 3-5-2 scheme, it is sometimes replaced with 4-4-2 with saturated midfield in the center. The Italian does not keep control of the ball requires aggressive football and rapid flanking attacks.
Transfers: Oscar is the output?
In the present composition of Chelsea have a few players who do not fit the style of Conte. The first candidate to leave John Obi Mikel. Nigeria is doing well in the defensive plan, but is weak in the transition between defense and attack and can not give a pass from deep. Definitely inferior to Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio, on which construction Conte game at his former teams. It can be replaced with a favorite of spec Arturo Vidal or Radja Nainggolan. More expensive, but far more important from a marketing standpoint is another option - Paul Pogba, who became a star under the direction of Conte.
The second player inappropriate for Conte's Oscar. Most likely he will want to get rid of him, as Jose Mourinho did with Juan Mata. After a brilliant season 2012/13 Spaniard did not enter into the plans of Special and was sold at the first reasonable offer.
The fact is that in the scheme of Conte no creative ten. Meanwhile, Oscar looks very bad on the wings. Worse even compared to Juan Cuadrado, which is still owned by Chelsea. The Colombian will return to London after his contract rental at Juventus and Conte will count it as one of the main players.
Finally, the third competitor who does not fit into the concept of Conte's Pedro. The transfer of the Spaniard has become one of the most unexpected summer. He had one foot in Manchester United but chose "blue". Set his skills fit perfectly scheme Mourinho's 4-2-3-1. But Conte does flanking attackers. Instead Pedro, it is possible to see another striker to Diego Costa. The Italian has two main options - Simone Zaza or French star Antoine Griezmann.
Obviously, Conte will try to reinforce and defend. The contract of captain John Terry expires at the end of the season, but has a great chance to stay at the express request of the new manager. Besides Terry, the team has another strong player in this position - Gary Cahill. Kurt Zuma and Rahman Baba will get their chances, but is unlikely to become a major pillar. To strengthen the protective shaft Conte wants Leonardo Bonucci, with whom he worked at Juventus or Andrea Ranocchia, whose qualities knows of Barry.
Results: Chelsea will not play in Europe? Excellent!
The management of "blue" does not like to wait a long time managers. The period of Conte restructuring will begin immediately after the end of Euro 2016.
In his first season at Juventus tactician won with zero losses! Next year again reached the Scudetto three rounds before the end and was eliminated in quarter-finals in the Champions League by Bayern Munich. Then he came to the gold in the Series "A", but dropped Champions League group stage, taking third place. And in the Europa League Juve reached the 1/2 finals where he was eliminated by Benfica. Almost certainly the next campaign Chelsea not playing in Europe, which will give the necessary time to Conte to develop their ideas.
The next season in the Premier League seems very spectacular. Manchester City will be with Pep Guardiola, Mourinho wants United, Jürgen Klopp for the first time will hold pre-season training with Liverpool. Do not forget that there are Mauricio Pochettino, Arsene Wenger and Claudio Ranieri. But Conte will have a solid advantage over all - has a chance to fully concentrate on the league.
