I wouldn't look much into it. He's clearly experimenting. Obviously he'll go with a 3-man defense á la Juventus. Funny in the Mediaset article it stated that Parolo will be the Vidal of the situation. Hahaha, yeah right! Super lame player, showed it against us last week.

He also left behind some big names, I'm thinking that he's mostly going through various names to really see how they train/perform on the pitch/etc

Conte is showing that he understands what friendlies are for. You're meant to experiment. So many clubs put out the same old teams.

Seriously strange

Seems to have worked (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

FWIW, I have been impressed by what Conte has done for Juve, and I a mildly optimistic about the NT.

Well I don't doubt Conte's skills as a coach, he's obviously the best Italian tactician around atm along with Carlo

The line-up seemed strange also because of where he played some players, but yeah, it seemingly all worked out.

Still I think he's mostly just going through the names right now seeing how each player trains/performs. He probably feels he can do that and still easily qualify for the Euros

Haha, thanks, but I don't see it happening. All we did is defend for the whole 90 minutes and hit them on the counter once every blue moon. We were just lucky, on top of Portugal being awful.

That goal though! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_26Y5OSkiOw

I remember when people were telling me Portugal had a really good team. lol.

Congrats X-Off, though, a win away against most teams in Europe is no easy task.

I just saw that one team that finished 3rd (in a group of 6!) will qualify atuomatically? What a joke of a tournament this will be. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
