The Conte you wanted out all season because he didn’t want to change those tactics...
The difference being that the tactics he played up until that game weren’t his, so he decided to do it his way instead, which is what every manager should be able to do. The worst thing Di Matteo ever did in 12/13 was bow to pressure to change what everyone was saying was simple & obvious because not only did it not work, he didn’t go out on his own terms and he showed how easily undermined he could be.
Samuel then went on to make some wisecrack about hipsters and lattes, which I think speaks volumes, as though anyone who dare watch a bit of football outside of 4-4-2, roast beef and ‘put it in the mixer’ is to be ridiculed, which just about sums up much of this country at the moment.
The convo they all had was identical to the ones they’ve had around that table about Guardiola and Klopp in the past...
