It's like an airline company giving their pilot a hot-air balloon and asking them to outspeed an F-16.

I never thought I would see the day Conte, of all people, take charge of Madrid. But when everybody turns you down because of your shitty transfer policy and cheapness, it's only fair that you'll eventually end up with a guy who runs around like a child on the touchlines, hugs and high fives strangers in the stands.

I'm actually surprised that he was stupid enough to accept the offer and project.

Well, good luck sir. Believe me, you're gonna need it.

Here's to Mourinho 2.0 everyone! Let the shit show begin. Or should I say continue!

no one is turning down madrid because of "cheap transfer policy" stop with your fantasies

Well, you also think Benzema is a quality player, so there's really nothing left to be said. Believe what you want and I'll believe what I want.

How certain is this btw? The Conte appointment I mean, not the sacking lol.
Is Onda Cero a safe source?

yes, benzema is a quality footballer, a mediocre scorer but a quality footballer nonetheless. But clearly saying that managers are turning us down because of cheap transfer policy is a lie and a fantasy. care to show any evidence of that?

on topic done dealio from the look of it

Onda Cero is ok, they hired a lot of jounralist from Cadena Ser, so Edu Pidal is a known journalist well connected to madrid.

Diaz from Marca is saying the same thing, i would be surprised if it doesnt turn out to be true. most likely, they are getting fed info from the club directly

Meh. I don't like this. I like Conte and rate him highly.

He'll do wonders with scrubs like Ascensio or Lucas, or Nacho

tbh Real will probably win the league now

This guy will be the first victim of Conte with attitude like that, and no one will complain after what we saw for the past few weeks

Our next game is against Mehlilla in Copa Del Rey. At least, he'll have a smooth transition

If they get Conte? Watch them win every game, and the whole competition including yourselves are not covering themselves in glory this season.

If they do appoint Conte, we can make a bet, after I've taken another long careful look at the table that is

Rest assured! Courtois is already familiar with Conte's style of play.

good, bale will have all that 'freedom to roam' top play now i supposed.

Winning >> style of play

Well, at least Conte will tighten up Real's horrible defence

Conte's style of play has the advantage of displaying purpose, organisation, concentration, speed and energy.

That alone makes it good to watch, much better than the headless chicken stuff your team has been playing right now, or the crosses-from-half-field thunderstorm under Ancelotti

You might want to bring Costa a little closer to the halfway line. That's an offensive lineup from Conte's point of view

Terrible post from @Thimmy, as that's a Mourinho lineup. Schürrle had long left Chelsea under Conte, as had Ivanovic, and Terry never played. You're obviously clueless too about Conte's time at Chelsea since you responded so enthusiastically.

Why do you talk about Conte to Real ? Is It sure ?

Spanish press seems to claim it is sure.
I hope it's not.

I hope yes , absolutely I don't want Conte to Milan ( I don't think GOATtuso will stay also next year)

The post perfectly mirrors Conte's conservative approach. Now, you can leave it as it is or replace the players who didn't play with those who did under Conte if you want. Either way, the post makes perfect sense.

But yeah, he needs to bring Costa a little closer to the halfway line to be more accurate

How does it perfectly mirror Conte's approach when it depicts a 4-2-3-1 formation that Conte never uses? And you think Conte's Chelsea broke the record for most wins in a PL season by staying exclusively in their own half?
You talk so much about respect, you need to start giving some.

People here talking like Conte is Mou. He dominated teams with Juve and Italy. Never catenaccio, always about controlling the field and being aggressive.

Broke the record for PL wins, the record for points in Serie A. He is gonna revive Madrid. Hope they go for Raul or whoever is coaching Castilla instead.

Because you're completely ignoring the obvious point of the post and you're focusing instead on trivial details.

The point of his post is that Conte is a conservative coach. Now, you can choose a 3-5-2, a 4-3-3, a 9-1 formation. You can put Maradonna instead of Costa and Pélé instead of Courtois. The point remains the same, that Conte is a conservative coach with soul-sucking football.
