The reason why Conte wants more Vidals and less Eriksens is because his system is based on number of possessions. Not amount on possession that has been calculated for decades, but number. It's a matter of winning the ball back at all times if possible. It tears the opponent apart if they cannot successfully launch an attack and you keep battering them with chances, no matter if they are low quality ones.
Players like Vidal, Radja, Pogba, Milinkovic-Savic, Barella, Brozovic, Rakitic etc win the ball back and know what to do with it to move forward. Conte needs this.
He still wants Vidal of course.
