Coach Conte: New hero of London

(Baonghean) - Remember when he first came to coach in the Land of Fog, the Italian coach had a difficult start when he was "strange in the land" and had to experience his first failures.

Last week, in the English Premier League, Chelsea convincingly won the 2016-2017 championship with two rounds to spare. Looking back at Chelsea’s journey to the championship, it can be seen that the hero of the London team is the strategist Conte.

Remember when he first arrived in England, the Italian coach had a difficult start when he was still "strange in the land" and had to experience his first failures. At that time, The Blues had fallen to 8th place in the rankings, 8 points behind Manchester City. But coach Conte quickly noticed the instability in personnel and tactics at Chelsea and he made radical and spectacular changes.

With the green light from billionaire Abramovich, Conte has ruthlessly "purged" the loyal players who often cause chaos in the team's dressing room such as Ivanovic, Oscar and John Obi Mikel. These stars have all had to "pack up" and leave London one by one.

Conte also quickly brought to Stamford Bridge new names such as David Luiz, Marcos Alonso and especially N'Golo Kante to complete his 3-4-3 formation. Under Conte's leadership, players who had fallen out of favor last season such as Diego Costa or Eden Hazard were strongly revived.

The secret to success in what is known as the “Managers’ League” is that Antonio Conte has created a relaxed atmosphere, motivated his players, and changed tactics in a timely manner. But most importantly, Conte has controlled his players and had the influence to maintain Chelsea’s focus throughout the season.

With that simple yet effective approach, for the first time leading a team in the Land of Fog, Coach Conte quickly surpassed famous names such as Jose Mourinho (MU), Pep Guardiola (Man City), Arsene Wenger (Arsenal), or Juergen Klopp (Liverpool) to become the best coach in the Premier League today.

Interestingly, coach Conte is the lowest paid of these (Pep Guardiola: £15 million/3 years; Jose Mourinho: £13.8 million/3 years; Arsene Wenger: £8.3 million/3 years; Juergen Klopp: £7 million/3 years; Antonio Conte: £6.5 million/3 years).

What Coach Conte has successfully demonstrated with Chelsea this season shows the strategic talent of the Italian strategist. From the "ruins" and "chaos" after the 2015-2016 season, many people thought that the London team would take a few seasons to solve the existing problems, but the miracle came under the Conte reign, everything was neatly resolved by the Italian coach, creating a new momentum to help the team advance to the finish line 2 rounds early in the admiration of everyone.
