How Conte's 3-4-3 Tactics Changed The Premier League | Antonio Conte's Chelsea Tactics |

Before Conte, the 3-4-3 was a rare sighting in the Premier League. But by the time he left, Conte had legendary managers imitating him. How did he do this?

Where does Conte's side rank vs Chelsea's other league winning side?

2nd imo behind 04/05

[@lexkanyima2195]

2nd

[@madwibble]

04/05 were probably the best. This season was remarkable for the turnaround thanks to the re formation.

[@we_breathe_football370]

3rd

[@najmussabir6051]

Back 3 with wingbacks becoming very trustworthy formation in football after the domination of 4-3-3.

[@lexkanyima2195]

And it work for Belgium

[@bradley4706]

Especially now, as fall backs are expected to attack as much as the forwards. So now there are players that are able to do it.

[@johngranahan6102]

Both formations the 343 and 433 tend towards the same heat maps except a CDM in a 433 is a CB in the 343 and the wingbacks are instead attacking fullbacks in the 433

[@najmussabir6051]

​@@johngranahan6102 Not every 3-4-3 are same. Some 3-4-3 contains 4 midfielder as the diamond like Johan Cruyff's 3-4-3 and some 3-4-3 got 2 wing back with only 2 midfielder like Koeman's one last season. Some 3-4-3 has a modified shape like CF dropping deep as a second striker and wingers tucking in as forward, then shape become 3-4-1-2.

[@johngranahan6102]

My entire point was that formations are completely fluid and that the 433 we see most utilised by say Liverpool in the premier League with one holding mid and two midfielders who create and press, is actually very similar when you look at heat maps and passing triangles to contes 343, yes on paper they look different but they function much the same with some players doing extra roles or slightly different ones

[@pkingglazersout6665]

Conte’s Chelsea were such a delight to watch too (aside from all the influence and tactics), Diego costa linking with Fabregas that season was just straight up annihilation!!

[@zakattack7896]

@@zakattack7896 bro. don't pay these fools any attention. people like them would jump on anyone who thinks CR7 is good by saying "you must think Messi is trash"

[@kurtleier1930]

Costa was just a revelation. My favorite striker since starting to support CFC in 1993. I'll always wonder what could have been had he stayed.

[@kaushikdas47]

I remember that 16-17 season, both Pep and Conte had the onus on them to deliver and the press and media were so amped up about which manager is going to deliver first. Conte did, and Pep followed, the next year. Conte's sideline antics and celebrations were so energetic, I guess that season was really memorable.

[@tejas8719]

The Hazard-Oscar-Willian with Costa up front still gives me smiles. Conte was a genius but fell out with key players just like Mou. I still respect him and wish if he stayed longer. He is one of the only Ex-managers I would gladly welcome back in the current day. Tuchels system mixes so perfectly to what Conte had established, which gives me a good feeling we can win the league this year! #KTBFFH

[@johnfisher1006]

Nah conte main issue was the sale of costa and the fact that all our signings turned out shit

[@udeanbambang1703]

dont forget fabregas

[@saraha2250]

TT is a mix of Conte's 3 at the back system and Sarri's possession based game. Can only hope TT will be the one to break the coach sacking course.

[@sofia_lover_q1998]

I love seeing this specfic team tactics, keep up and and this side is just different, the 3-4-3 from Chelsea really run through the league, Kante was surreal, Moses and Alonso were great, this Conte team was really great, looking forward to the next videos 😍👋

[@nehemiahjacobs1987]

Man conte worked on luiz so much so he'd have confidence to push into midfield it was all about overloads that's Why in 17/18 when he got injured we struggled cuz he'd add numbers into the mid and Christiansen didn't have the composure plus azpi and cahill were clean up guys you know but man i enjoyed costa that season he became my favourite 🙏

[@fhjunior6183]

Thanks for the vid.

[@FootballMadeSimple]

No problem :)

[@luisrivas1618]

This formation is becoming very common for Elite football managers. Tuchel has found great success with it. Even Pep has pulled it out in one or two matches. I wouldn’t be surprised if in 2-3 seasons you’ll see most teams adapt this formation. Xavi used it in Al Saad so I definitely think he’ll try it on Barcelona. And if that’s the case, they could become a very strong side

How did Conte fail in his second season at Chelsea if these tactics won them the league the previous season?

[@FootballMadeSimple]

They changed a few things around, Morate for Costa, Fabregas for Matic, Rudiger for cahill. 16/17 was an outstanding season so there was a natural fall of the next season and Conte was getting restless. And the 17/18 City side was also one of (maybe THE) the greatest PL sides ever, so all these factors led to that
