The Conte method that threatens Real Madrid: discipline, Pintus' physical work and sexual advice to his squad

• Champions. Madrid's accounts to go to the second round

senses

that his tough character was forged on the streets of

and under the authority of his father.

You fight with other kids in the square and then take a heavy hand at home, where he knew what to expect if he committed any mischief.

From the toe of the Italian boot, one of the leaders of the

dominant

of the mid-90s and previously runner-up in the world with the United States 94 team

left to make a career in the north of the country.

He played the game where they broke the nose to

.

At La

met a tall French man who came from the

with a good reputation

.

«Zidane did extraordinary things.

Sometimes we were left with our mouths open.

He danced with the ball ", recalls Conte in

, his biography.

The title orders the elements that made him succeed in football, first as a player and then on the bench.

A fan of work, a winner who named his only daughter Victoria and who generates as many adhesions at the beginning as friction later in the locker room.

An

Italian-style

, "brilliant and obsessive, great coach and complex man", define him in some sporting directions.

This Tuesday, his current trip with

brings

to face

of that teammate he admired so much in Turin.

His two teams, theoretical favorites to reach the eighth of the

from Group B, have not yet won in the two rounds played.

Whoever loses will be in serious classification problems.

Together at Juventus they won and also lost, for example the 1998 European Cup final against Real Madrid.

The Frenchman has set his players as an example many times, especially when he began training in modest teams such as

,

or

.

"Before a hard physical exercise, someone protested to me saying 'this is sure that Zidane did not do it' and I always replied: 'yes he did, and without saying a peep'.

This is the quality of champions: humility and the desire to sacrifice themselves, to be great within the group, not far from it, "Conte reviews in his book, signed before leaving the Juventus leadership.

A man of principle

Although predestined to train her, after being her captain and playing there for 13 seasons, her landing was not easy.

While at Bari in 2009, the contract with the

shield

was canceled at the last minute when it was suggested that the star signing that summer, the Brazilian

, did not agree with his tactical system.

«If you accept that a player, whoever he is, conditions his coach, I cannot accept the position.

You will have to choose another ».

Its principles, first and foremost.

Conte preferred to continue in small teams than to jump at any cost.

That period, coaching Siena, would later mark his time at Juve, when he was accused of participating in match-fixing.

Despite his legal fight, the Italian sports justice punished him with four months of disqualification in 2012 and, four years later, the ordinary courts found him innocent.

The case marked him deeply.

He did not understand how he, a professional who does not negotiate the effort, a born winner, could be suspected of agreeing a tie.

Such an ugly process encouraged him to leave his country, after signing a good Euro 2016 with Italy.

Del Bosque's decadent Spain was the victim, in the second round, of an

that was circulating at a different speed.

Like the Conte player, he did not need an exorbitant talent to take the rival ahead.

«I was a good footballer, but not an exceptional one.

I made a career overcoming my limits by character, desire to improve and tenacity.

Invasive technician

The recipe emerges in the best versions of their teams, be it Juve, Italy or Chelsea that won the

in 2017. "I do not understand football without total dedication," he repeats, invasive in all areas.

He even gives intimate advice to his staff.

"During the season, sexual relations should not be very long, you have to make as little effort as possible. So, better to be under the partner," he recommended to his family in an interview.

Greasing his machinery physically has been -until June- a man from Tenerife,

, a specialist in muscle strength work.

He was replaced at Inter by

, the coach who brought so much performance to Madrid from Zidane in the first stage of the French.

That coaching staff that won so many titles was broken when Pintus's relationship with ZZ assistants

and

broke down

.

Now he will return to

at the hands of Antonio Conte, a coach who was surveyed by the white club two years ago, when Julen Lopetegui was fired.

After the 5-1 at the Camp Nou, a large station in Spain came to set the time for the premiere of the Italian.

Tomorrow he will meet

, who made a gesture of the possible signing: "Respect is earned, it is not imposed," he dedicated to his fame as a martial leader.
