‘I had the best moment of my career thanks to Conte’

‘I had the best moment of my career thanks to Conte’

Although English media claim Chelsea players are unhappy with Conte’s methods in South West London, every former and current Juventus player that had been working under the Italian from 2011 until 2014 has only words of praise for the current Blues boss.

Former Juve starlet Stefano Beltrame is one of them. Currently out on loan at Go Ahead Eagles, the Italian, 24, has praised the Italian tactician in an interview released with Tuttosport.

“I’ve never seen so much passion in a manager”, Beltrame said.

“He always wants the best from his players and is very good to take out the best from each one of his footballers. I remember my senior Juventus debut, it was the best moment in my career. I didn’t realize what I had achieved, it was all so quick. We were drawing 1-1 against Genoa at home. Conte looked at me and told me: ‘Beltrame warm up because you’ll get on the pitch in two minutes.’ I had a chance to score as well but their goalkeepers saved it."
