Antonio Conte opens up on his return
The words of Antonio Conte
Antonio Conte è returned to talk about his future at the Sports Festival. "One day I would like to coach a team that has recently won. Becauseé for example I took Chelsea back from seventh place, Juve after seventh. After Tottenham I promised myself to devote time to my family, è a life choice. But when I come back, for everyone else it will be very hard".
"Today the coach affects in a very important way in every respect. He affects, at 5/10/30 percent, but he affects. Soccer è is constantly evolving, like all sports. In the soccer that I started playing, with Fascetti and Mazzone as coaches, their function was that of second fathers, who used a carrot and stick. The first year at Juventus I found many difficulties, but Trapattoni for me è was a papà: you left a lot of space for the player and tried to manage the locker room. The first change was with Sacchi, and with Lippi: the coach started to take care of more aspects, to give you more information. I hate to hear that we coaches have to do as little damage as possible. If the thinking è that, you should not be in this profession".
Quip about the perfect coach. "He has to be like a tailor, make the best possible suit with the fabric he has available. We have to put the player in the best conditions to express the talent, without fossilizing. I won two championships in Bari with the 4-2-4, when I arrived at Juventus I wanted to play with that system of play and I started to do so. Then seeing the characteristics of some players, including Pirlo. I also had Chiellini who didn’t quite feel like playing left-back. So I did 4-3-3, then è the 3-man defense was born. At Chelsea I also wanted to reintroduce my 4-2-4. But then against Arsenal we lost 3-0 at the end of the first half. Then I changed the module and we won the championship. Modules are all beautiful; but a teacher canò have all the knowledge in the world, forò he must get to the head and heart of the pupils. In the same way coaches with soccer players".
