I know I know, just pulling your leg. I remember thinking at the time that it was a garbage move! It looked like some of the other bad Juve signings from the mid to late aughts.
But they were hitting blackjack on everything from like 2012-2014. That first scudetto team wasn’t like incredible.
Title at Juventus, Chelsea and Inter now. Winner with three clubs. Improves average players, commands total respect and his teams play intense football.
Respect to Conte. Now do something in europe do you can elevate your name.
I don’t about the other teams, but Internazionale is simply way to one-dimensional to something in Europe. I’d be surprised if they get past the final eight next season. Apart from an easy draw.
Conte was after him from the jump. Saw something in him and believes he could harness his talents.
He definitely still has his flaws but honestly speaking his quality is there for everyone to see. Much more selfless player, better hold up play, able to use his physicality more intelligently.
Some of his stuff is dire to watch but you can’t really argue with the results. Using scrubs like Ashley Young, Ranoccia and Darmian he’s managed to succeed.
