Has a newfound ‘Special One’ emerged at Stamford Bridge?

Antonio Conte has clearly taken to life among the top-flight of English football with plenty of vigour thus far. Chelsea have seemingly re-established their dominant touch among the Premier League this season, and on the back of the Italian’s new tactics down at Stamford Bridge in recent weeks, things certainly seem to be on the up among the formally dejected Blues faithful.

 

After Jose Mourinho led his once triumphant Blues to the brink of crisis throughout the course of last term, former head-coach of the Italian national team – Antonio Conte – arguably deserves a great deal of praise for transforming his side’s fortunes in a relatively short period of time.

 

 

Many Premier League onlookers have ultimately been left impressed by Chelsea of late…

 

Being an Arsenal fan I feel a bit strange saying this but I like the way Chelsea play under Conte. I even like Costa.

…especially certain aspects of the Italian’s notorious man-management skills…

 

Antonio Conte's man management has been brilliant & Diego Costa avoiding to be booked in over 7 matches testifies to that.

Jose Mourinho’s legacy has seemingly been all but forgotten in the wake of Conte’s recent introduction down at Stamford Bridge…

 

17 points off better than we were last season with virtually the same team.. Antonio Conte has to be the second coming of Jesus

…and as the Blues have certainly looked largely formidable so far this term under the Italian manager's tactics…

 

Don't think Conte using 3-4-3 is anything special. He has seen the squad he has and decided 3-4-3 is the best way to organize them. Simple.

…Conte’s passionate touch-line displays are clearly beginning to take effect among the Premier League this season…

 

Conte is such an admirable manager.
Chelsea are lucky to have him. Hard to find a manager that's the complete package like him nowadays.

Although some fellow managers among the English top-flight are seemingly running out of patience with the new Chelsea manager of late…

 

Pochettino angered by Conte's touchline antics. Conte responds by gesturing to the Chelsea fans to cheer for the team. What a man.

…certain Chelsea players are starting to truly blossom under Antonio Conte’s guidance…

 

Moses looks a completely different player under Conte, just shows what a bit confidence under the right manager can do!

Whilst things could admittedly change at Stamford Bridge between now and the end of the season, everything seems to be going just swimmingly for Chelsea right in the here and now!
