TEAM INSTRUCTIONS

POSSESSION PHASE

The Antonio Conte game originates from the possession of the defense ; no matter if you risk something in trade near your area : the ball you should never throw ahead at random. The two central widen to better manage the ball, as well as the two full-backs must be wide in order to offer the possibility of central passage. The two central midfielders at this stage should only help the defense with a side game. Conte requires midfielders with strong qualities of interdiction, the left played a defensive midfielder, on the right a deep lying playmaker / ball winning midfielder. Attackers are vertically provided.

Once the ball comes to one of the two wingers ( deployed on foot inverted ) have three options :
1.Select in the end and crossed
2. Cut centrally and dialogue with the two strikers
3.Cut centrally and serve in deep with a filter outside of the opposite side
Very unique is the location of the two strikers who have not joined but rather vertically to embarrass the opponent's defenders . Note also how the median remains behind cover (this also covers offensive raids of full-backs that rise in turn ) while the countertop to maneuver ball winning midfielder.

DEFENSIVE PHASE

The extremely advanced position of the wings in the form of Conte would seem to weaken the defense : in fact it is not so, at least in the coach's intentions. To the defense, they also participate in their clinging to the two midfielders and doubling to help out the full backs when needed. The team tries to win back the ball right away if you lose, so do not back away. Once opponents jump the first pressure brought by the wings and tips from the team and the midfielder runs behind compacted in order to close the gaps their opponents in their own half.
