Antonio Conte

[brehme1989]

Well, he did bench Perisic for Keita for a few games.

So it wasn’t anything like Mancini with A.Cesar, that is real favouritism. To me, Spaletti didn’t really have that level of narrow mindedness.

I get your point, but favoritism is not limited to playing time alone.
Perisic was the teacher's pet in the locker room.

Our whole fixation with the 4231 formation relied on Perisic existing.

And some of you monsters would deny your coach this...

Who could Spalletti have benched Perisic, Valero and Vecino for?

Thats some serious bromance there

When Keita started doing well he got himself hurt and then aggravated the injury on a TV show.

Conte sunk his nose real hard into him to get a good whiff of Lukaku's body.

Spalletti deserves full credit for his first season, but I would still question him for choosing Valero instead of Banega. (Don't tell me Banega wanted to return to Spain, I don't buy this shit).

In his next season he didn't make any progress. We would finish 6th if bbilan and roma were able to get their shit together on time.
Because of him players like Cancelo, Rafinha are wearing other teams' shirts. As Sabatini revealed, he wanted to sell Icardi and buy both, but it's been blocked. If Spalletti was more insistent like Conte is about the players he want to sign Zhang would allow it to happen. But he didn't go for it, because they were too good for his limited tactics, he had nothing to offer them. His limited tactics can be good for bloodboilers like Vecino, that's why he staffed our squad with ballast.

He never thought of integrating players from primavera.
His achievements, subs, man management were terrible.
All in all, he didn't deserve staying here. Why peple are still nostalgic about him is surprising me. I am jumping for joy that we sacked him.

Conte in this preseason alone is showing more interesting football than Spalletti+Mancini could ever built.

Banega was sold by the club because of FFP. Got nothing to do with Spalletti.

 

[forzainter257]

to earn 9 mln? on an Argentine national team player? when you had other deadwoods to sell to make the plusvalenza?

When has Inter selling deadwood resulted in plusvalenza? We can never sell our deadwood in terms which results us getting plusvalenza.

Back then it was super dire situation and we needed all those millions we could get. That why Banega was sold.

Dire situation because we wanted to buy Valero, Vecino?

I have been arguing about Banega's transfer many times here, everytime people would provide same answers. But I always agreed to disagree. He was sold because Spalletti wanted Valero and Banega didn't want to be a bench player. His market value was around 16 mln but we sold him for 9 mln - that alone explains he wasn't valued and was shipped as unneeded. That was his biggest mistake because he later dead needed a proper AMC - the position which non of the players he wanted were able to cover.

People who are making Cunte already a god and defending him relentlessly at this stage should be new to supporting Inter, or maybe they just never learn.

or maybe they just know Conte. They know how he works, what he pretends, what he is already changing... :work: im not forgetting that i also was happy with Spalletti at the beggining. And it also worked with him, till as always the winter came and things changed... but i need sadly say that he was part of that shit. When the team was playing bad he made things worser. With he's subs, he's annoying 4231... general the decisions he made, it was a disaster. You can't fucking defend against PSV at the San Siro when you know that you probably will need a victory. This was for me the biggest proof of how stupid Spalletti is some times.

anyway. The fans who are against Conte and think that we are only hyping him, are haters. Nobody says that Conte is already a god but he's work should be see with some respect instead of insulting him. He deserves much more support instead of stupid comments like "he is a rubentino spy" or people that are really comparing him to Mazzarri.

You are entitled to have your opinion. Doesn't make it true, however. :troll:

I am trying to imitate brehme here. I have some insider on whatsapp, so I don't believe in media. I have close friends who are close to farthest friends of Banega's neighbour's son, so I have more legit info.

I am happy that Spalletti is gone. But he deserves far more respect for what he did.

Spalletti isn't a limited coach by any means. He has shown that plenty in his career, like the no striker formation at Roma last decade, or even the free flowing football they played 2-4 seasons back while reaching 2nd place.

Spalletti just didn't have enough of a stature to make big demands on the players front. Couple that with our FFP agreement and our hands were severely tied. You can blame Spalletti for making some bad choices like Valero, or Keita, but then he did the best later with the players he had.

There are coaches that have some style of playing, but also adapt their tactics based on the players they have. Spalletti, Ancelotti and many others belong to this category. There is the other category where the coach has a certain style, and they will sign players, and get existing players to adapt to their style. Conte, Guardiola and others are fixated on their style. One may not necessarily be better than the other.

Conte already has much better players than Spalletti had, and ones suited to his style. That's great for us now that we have gone down this road. With a couple of more signings, being in top 3 comfortably is the least that we should expect from this season.

Where was Conte's respect towards Inter when he celebrated the Scudetti won in the fashion Juve did? And I really cannot understand why somebody would refer to Conte as a winner or even a professional when throughout his career he has shown time and again that he is nothing short of a sore loser, a heap of genetic garbage (as evidenced by is his tenure at Chelsea and how this ended). At this point I shall give notice that for me there is far more to rooting for a club than pure success. I just don't want the club that I have been supporting for almost two decades to prostitute itself like that. What about the club's culture? What about intellectual integrity?

The next one on the list would be Marotta:

I didn't follow his Roma at the time, but they probably were able to finish 2nd because Inter, Milan and other rivals were in mess, Napoli sold their best weapon to rube. Correct me if I am wrong.

Honestly, I never enjoyed his Inter except the part when Rafinha joined us plus he finally understood Cancelo was the best choice for RB. Also there was a short period when Inter played very good after we stripped Icardi of captaincy, but it probably was more like players' reaction than something Spalletti implemented.

Conte didn't use any player he signed for big money during preseason. He played with some first team players plus backup players and fucking Esposito in front. The fact that he was spot on with Sensi shows he knows what and who he wants. Spalletti asked for Valero, Vecino, Keita and didn't use them fully. He only kept on playing Vecino perhaps relying on his miracle.

 

[PHM1605]

Spalletti asked for Vecino Keita, and Valero? Because they were the only choices we gave him, with limited budget at that time AND Inter wasnt an attractive destination to lure better players. We didnt even play CL when he came, just remind you. Someone, as mediocre as they are, still better than no one.

Dont think if he had Barella or Sensi or Lukaku on the list he would say no to them, just to choose Valero, Vecino and Keita. But you see the difference between 150m and 30m budget, dont you?
