Following Tottenham’s 2-0 win over a tough Marseille side, Antonio Conte is once again getting a lot of praise, alongside Richarlison.
It’s mostly deserved, as Spurs are currently one of the in-form sides in the Premier League and remain a very difficult side to beat, which cannot be said, at least this season, about his former side Inter.
The Serie A side, unlike Tottenham, got off to a losing start against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, with Leroy Sane causing all sorts of problems to the Italian defence.
Unable to lift the title since Conte left, Inter have seemingly regressed over the past two years, as they currently sit eighth in their league, and seem far easier to beat than in the past.
For example, they explain that Simeone Inzaghi needed ‘a fast defender’ and was instead given Federico Acerbi, a 34-year-old experienced centre-back not exactly known for his speed.
This kind of move on the transfer market is what Tottenham’s Antonio Conte ‘understood in advance’, which is also why, ‘after winning the Scudetto, he decided to leave’.
Since then, he has moved to Spurs, spent over €200m at the Premier League side to build a competitive side he feels is in a better place to win trophies.
As Calciomercato say, Conte now ‘lives to win and aim higher and higher, while Inter are surviving with Zhang’ at the helm.
