Chelsea Fans Jeer Up For Conte

Chelsea did not qualify for the Champions league amid poor performances from last season and Antonio Conte has been appointed to take charge of the club. With the performances being exhibited by Italy at the Euros, is Conte going to bring Chelsea success in the league and qualify for the Champions league next season?

Italy qualified for the Round of 16 on Friday thanks to a solitary goal by Eder. This means that Conte’s men have progressed out of the group of death with a game to spare.

What happens to Antonio Conte is carefully monitored by Chelsea as they look at his team’s performances and how he would replicate the same desire to win at Chelsea.

Chelsea has never made use of three central defenders before but looking at how Conte has been able to define the success of the Azzuri in the Euro with aging stars such as Bonucci, Barzagli and Chiellini, the question is would Chelsea be able to use three central defenders to win matches in a league known for its use of the traditional 4-4-2 formation.

The central defense of Chelsea currently has only one man the team can rely on to churn out great performance week in and week out and that is Gary Cahill. Zouma still has more room to learn whiles Branislav Ivanovic and John Terry’s good days are gone. Chelsea need an additional central defender to be able to conform to the standards of Antonio Conte if indeed, he would be using the 3-5-2 formation.

Conte and the 3-5-2 Formation

The 3-5-2 formation comes with a lot of commitment and the need for wing backs. Abdul Baba Rahman and Kennedy are the current left backs at Chelsea but Conte is a coach who transforms players and can certainly get the best out of them. The rumors surrounding the transfer of Juventus wing back Kwadwo Asamoah to Chelsea would prove to be a great signing looking at how the two worked perfectly from Conte’s time as head coach of Juventus.

Conte is all about dedication and hard work. A player like Belgium’s Nianngolan would boost Chelsea’s midfield in terms of going forward and also providing defensive cover for the central defenders.

Attack with defense is what Antonio Conte is all about. With funds at his disposal and the performances of the Italian National Team in sight, Antonio Conte’s player acquisitions would undoubtedly be geared toward enhancing the 3-5-2 formation that has made him the manager he is today.

Chelsea has found a great coach in Conte and only time would tell the kind of success he would bring to the club.
