In an interview given during the broadcast Sky Football Club, Leonardo Bonucci expressed words of great esteem for Antonio Conte, defining him as a meticulous coach capable of always finding the winning solution. "Conte understood that football has changed compared to the past and had to adapt his vision. Today we see a different Napoli, with a strong identity and very specific characteristics." Bonucci said, underlining how the coach is able to evolve in the face of changes in the modern game.
One of the most important aspects of Conte's work, according to the defender, is his ability to quickly convince players to follow his ideas. "Conte's secret is that he gets to the heart of his players and always finds the right key to motivate them. He's done it in every team he's coached, and always in a very short time." Bonucci explained, recalling Conte's successes not only at Juventus and Inter, but also at Chelsea and with the Italian national team.
A recent example of the influence of Tale on the players is the tactical transformation of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in Napoli. "Kvara now plays more centrally, whereas under Spalletti he remained wider on the line. Conte has convinced him that playing in that central position is the right choice for the team." Bonucci said. "Conte is like that: he finds the right way to talk to the players and they follow him without hesitation," he concluded, recognizing how the Lecce coach has been a fundamental element in every team he has led, quickly bringing them to success.
