  1. Sorry but it's not the same for me. I can be happy and appreciate every winning match, but at the same time mantain my judge about the aesthetic or the philosophy of how coaching. There is no contraddiction. This is valid for me. What the other Juve supporters think is not my problem.
  2. I agree with what you say about the intensity of his way of manage, and probably 3 years is his average permanence (right now, in the future we'll see...) About my words on Allegri, I don't know what kind of God you imagine to be for tell me i'm ignorant. Everyone has the right to have his opinion. It's true we played great matches even coached by Allegri, as we played bad matches with Conte. But I revenge I can say I find boring Allegri concept of soccer, as I love that of Antonio. It's a judge about their vision of soccer and especially of the way to increase the value of the group, that isn't the simple sum of the value of the single players. It's my opinion and my way of loving sport, saying that an opinion and a way of living sport is ignorante is pure arrogance imho. Above all forza Juve e forza Chelsea!
  3. He was born with the love of Juventus. His father was our supporters, all of his family, his first rookie footbal soccer was named something like Juvenilia ... He will die loving Juventus. But unfortunately I don't think he will return. At least for now and the imminent future. In Italy there's no culture of manager, but only of coach. He wants more. And I agree with him. I suffer, even because Allegri is a donkey, but I agree with him.
  4. I had been cried since he divorced from Juventus. Obviosuly my faith remains black&white, but from that day I can't see Juventus matches with the same pathos. Even because Allegri plays an horrible soccer, independently of the results. I miss Conte every day, and like me so many Juventus supporters. His concept of the group is the essence of the sport spirit. So I always watch Chelsea's match and you know I became a blues supporter (remaining supporter of Juventus, it's clear). In my life I have seen so many winning games e so many coaches (Trapattoni, Lippi, Capello the most important). In my heart it's impossible to replace Conte, his first season in Juventus, ended with the triumph in the lega A with only Pirlo and Vidal surrounded by normal players (Estigarribia, Deceglie, Pepe, Matri, Quagliarella, Padoin) against Milan of Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva, remain for me the sweetest remind.

    Zola was an extraordinary talent. And an excellent person. Unfortunately, the time lapse of his career was the same at his starting period of the best moments of Roberto Baggio, and at his ending of the affermation of Del Piero e Totti. You can have 4 fantastic midfielders in your team, but two n°10 cannot coexist! Today he were the undisputed n°10 of the italian team ... if Conte could have had him in the Euro, we were been probably the winners!
  6. I'm not scared. Buffon is so far to Maradona as Harry Kane to Shearer or Lineker or Owen. Though, it wasn't a problem for Juventus. And we cannot say all defenders were so technical to cover eventual Goalkeeper's lacks. Barzagli and Bonucci are really strong, but Chiellini uses his feet as a flat iron ... Courtois will improve and it's enough.
  7. Burn out? Impossible. Conte doesn't give you neither the opportunity to think about that!!! I can assure this, I didn't lose neither one match of the 3 years in which Conte was Juventus coach! Surely I agree with many of you about being concerned of injuries of key players. I'm really impressed by Diego Costa: no one in Juventus was so good in interpreting his rule! It's not only for technical qualities (Matri, Quagliarella and Llorente are obviously not at his level), but for the movements, for his incredible skills to know always the best thing to do! I think substituting him could be really difficult. Substitute midfielders isn't really a problem. I have seen all type of injuries in Juventus ... Marchisio, Vidal, Pirlo ... who has played in such occasions, even the worst (Padoin, Marrone) has always done what they have to do. And it's not to forget that Conte is able to transform players in midfielder ... Giaccherini was a right forward, but under Conte he becames an incredible left-center midfielder! My fear is actual substitutes don't understand his philosophy. Imo only Oscar on saturday had a good impact on the match in his few minutes. While Willian is always a fish out of a bowl (it's an italian way of saying, is the same in english??? :-) ). Ivanovic is always in late. And Fabregas doesn't run. I hope Abramovich will do his part at january!
  8. Where is my Alex? Nobody has mentioned him! ----------------------- Iashin ------------------- ------Scirea ------ Beckenbauer ----- Maldini ------Conte------------Pirlo----------Davids ----------Pelè --------Cruyff-------Del Piero Vialli I know, there are so many better players considering all time. In primis Maradona, Platini and Van Basten. But i think, though it's only a joke, the team above is equilibrated: technical and physical players, and first of all all of them with really good psichological components. Maybe you can substitute Vialli with Drogba (but you know, I still love him) and Conte with Lampard, Gerrard, Makelele, Tardelli or Riikaard ... but I'm sure we're all happy to see Conte! However, for me what builds up a dream team is not only qualities of players, but the amalgama. In this sense i'm not surprised that quite nobody has mentioned Ibrahimovic or players like him, strong but egoist.
  9. Let me say, simply, that Conte believes in team spirit and his empowerment: so is the team to exalt individualities. In this sense, like someone wrote in a post before this mine, he's really a coach first than a manager. Is for that that I fall in love with him when coaching Juventus ... and still I'm :-). Is the essence of Olympia, the essence of all sports! Mou believes in individual class. He always pretends expensive buyings, he wants the best players. And then he works for build a team consciousness ... with results not Always clear (see last year and this year ...). Psycopath! Really ... but his "garra" ... we all love him! The truth is Conte was a part of a dream team. Peruzzi, Ferrara, Paulo Sousa, Zidane, Deschamps, Jugovic, Del Piero, Vialli ... the only "normal" players were Di Livio and Torricelli ... Conte stayed in the middle between the only two normals and the martians!
  10. He can't obtain the same result, almost in this year, 'cause you register yet two lost. Ok, it'f not funny, sorry. Speaking seriously, his "garra" is worst than that of uruguayan or chilean ... him and Vidal really done one for the other ... I will never forget those 3 years ... and you're seeing what he's doing with you ... Alonso seems a good player (I remember him in Italy, it's terrible!), we can see the new life of Diego Costa, and the light in the eyes of Hazard is no more one day on and the other off ... when he arrived in Juve, supporters of other teams were laughing for Bonucci ...20M€. and till this moment bad like defender (even if it was clear he has good tecnique). In saying the last thing, I'm thinking of Luiz ... the new Bonucci for you? I hope! ps: Vialli and Conte the most loved captains of Juventus of the last 30s, more than buffon (the joker ... he always smile like a stupid, even when we lose ...). Obviously Del Piero is not contemplated. Not in this human world :-)
  11. Surely. First of all Pirlo, Vidal, Bonucci and Marchisio (Del Piero on the sunset, Buffon injured form the start of the season till january, and then so far of his best). But it doesn't change the meaning: 5-6/11 of the team were normal players. In the Juve of Lippi the only normal were Torricelli and Di Livio ... maybe the same Conte ... the others were martians! And above all ... you haven't to ruin my climax, don't you think? ahaha
  12. Juventus fan from my Birth, nearly 40 years ago. I love football. That's why now I'm already a Juventus fan, even if the team plays an orrible soccer (oh yes, we still win, but have you seen our opponents in Italy? They're ridicolous...). But I can't resist to support Chelsea too! In my life i remember only the Juventus coached by Lippi playing so weel like that of Conte ... but how forget that maybe Del Piero-Vialli-Zidane were a little (!!) better than Estigarribia, Deceglie, Pepe, Giaccherini, Matri, Quagliarella? That of 2012 (the same year of the greatest satisfaction for you Blues supporters!) is my favourite Italian title, in spite maybe I've seen more of 10 of them in my life. But Conte made the miracle: we won with the players cited above, against milan of Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva (coached by ... allegri ... bleah!!!). Go Chelsea go! (as he screams thousands in every match ... go go go go, translating his italian "dai dai dai" !!! :-)
