After the Blues win over Southampton David Luiz gave us an insight on Antonio Contes tactical methods
With 9 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses on the season so far, The Italian has had a decent start to his Chelsea origin story. The new plans seems to be working very well; now the trick will be to keep up the levels of concentration and effort as we head into the middle part of the season.
While he has been criticized for being a little unorthodox, Luiz assures the fans there is a method to his madness and its working:
“The change in the system to three centre back didn’t make the team lose offensive power and brought more safety to our defending. However, the main point is how [Antonio] Conte has been implementing his work.”
“He makes sure that every player assimilates and understands perfectly how to behave on the field. When you have conscience of how to execute your actions, the results appear naturally.”
“Another important detail is that we study a lot how our opponents play. Preparation is quite heavy. Coupled with that, the individual style of every athlete has helped in our collective growth.”
“That’s why we need to enjoy and be happy whenever the results come through, but always keeping our feet on the ground. We need to keep on thinking one game at a time, [as we] haven’t won anything yet.”
-David Luiz
