#5 The Conte Revolution
The change in the Chelsea team has been nothing short of miraculous. Conte’s system, his enthusiasm, determination and hard work seems to be a cut above the rest of the managers at the present moment. While only Liverpool’s attack can be described as better than theirs in the Premier League, a run of five clean sheets must be thrilling for the Blues dressing room.
After reforming Juventus and an apparently lacklustre Italy in the Euros this year, he seems to be working his magic at Stamford Bridge. With an uncanny ability to get the best out of his players, he has given the West Londoners hope. While downplaying any chances of silverware at the end of the season, as he rightly should, Conte continues to push his men to improve.
Even though they beat Manchester United 4-0 a fortnight ago, they seem to have improved even more after that. The Blues enjoyed the lion's share of the possession and were confident both on and off the ball. The team's hunger to win the ball back every time they lost it is impressive as is the new-found solidity of David Luiz and Gary Cahill. Diego Costa looks less angry and there is a precision and focus to their game that seems only unique to them so far.
