L ‘Bury is out of the Champions League. Antonio Conte’s team was eliminated by virtue of a 0-0 at home to Shakhtar Donetsk that is tied with the first leg. Despite the lack of biscuit between Real Madrid and Borussia Monchengladbach, the Nerazzurri failed to beat the Ukrainians, even closing the group in last place. Second consecutive failure in Europe that counts for the Milanese team, under the direction of the Salento coach. But why can’t Conte replicate the excellent results in the Champions League national championships? That is why the coach, numbers in hand, ended up on the defendants’ bench.
Conte’s numbers in the Champions League
The Champions is confirmed as an “indigestible” competition for Antonio Conte. The coach for the second consecutive year with his Inter goes to the group stage of the tournament. If in the last edition the Nerazzurri consoled themselves by relegating to the Europa League, and reaching the final (where they surrendered to Sevilla), in this tournament Lukaku and his teammates have even finished last. In 5 overall appearances in the top continental competition, Conte won once the second round with Chelsea and once the quarter-finals with Juventus, and then he has always been eliminated in the groups (in addition to the two in the Nerazzurri, also a black and white flop). In 34 Champions League games, the coach has accumulated 12 wins, 11 draws and the same number of wins. Figures that speak for themselves of the performance of the coach in the highest continental trophy.
Because Antonio Conte’s 3-5-2 fails in the Champions League
Why can’t Antonio Conte get important results in the Champions League? Their low predisposition to change is once again marked, with the insistence on a module such as 3-5-2 that in Europe is usually considered obsolete. The only novelty of the season to his tactical system was at the interpretive level with the presence of Eriksen in the first leg against Borussia (and in the final minutes of the game against Shakhtar). The three defenders, in fact, cause the Nerazzurri team to lose a man in the set-up phase, with the two outside midfielders having to do a great job. Hence the “debate” quite choppy with Fabio Capello after the match against Real in the first leg with the former coach who criticized Conte for not daring, unlike Zidane who, with his offensive changes, has won the game. For this reason, the overly cautious attitude of the Inter coach was accused, who did not have the best defense, on a par with Borussia and Real Madrid. Very few of the 7 goals scored, 4 less than the meringues and 9 less than the Germans.
