Apart from being a ‘serial winner’, Antonio Conte is also known for being a fitness freak. Current Napoli boss has a long and documented record of forcing his players to the maximum with physical preparations, not to mention the strict diet regime and even sex advices. Many of his former players from Juventus or Tottenham were speaking openly about his methods and what happens if you fail to comply. And yet his methods work as he managed to secure the title to four different clubs (Juventus, Chelsea, Inter and Napoli), and even to win in the first season being their coach. Tottenham remains as the only club he failed, but the Spurs are a specific environment anyway.Conte’s way: no ketchup and mayonnaise, more fruit and tips about sex activitiesConte is not a man who usually change his ways, but he tried it once, and it didn’t work. The country? England. The club? Chelsea.”Once the Chelsea captain came to ask to slow down the pace, to do fewer video sessions. I agreed, above all, respecting their culture, their different way of experiencing football. When you are in a country different from your own, you have to be careful not to upset things too much. Well, we lost two games in a row and I risked being fired. Since then I think that if I have to “die” in some choice and situation to face, I have to do it my way and not at the hands of others. This is the method, the trust in process as the English say. Holding firm to the point of the choices” said Conte in an interview for Corriere Della Sera. Conte’s military drill in front of 6,000 spectators: Kane vomited, Son could not get up afterwardsHis training are very well documented, and there were situations when he forced his players so much, that after two hours of running in humid conditions, some of them (Harry Kane) vomited. He also often extended his video analysis from 20 to over 70 minutes. But Conte still believes that training used to be much harder.“The search for consensus at all costs is a self-condemnation. And if I think about the hardness of the training, I smile. Zidane and Del Piero trained much harder. Today we do a third of what we did. The work must of course be linked to the results, I happened to coach teams where after a while the players themselves looked for situations of fatigue. For me this means having obtained the result” he said.FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP 2025Matchday 2SaturdayLos Angeles – Esperance 0-1 (0-0)/Belaili 70/Bayern – Boca Juniors 2-1 (1-0)/Kane 18, Olise 84 – Merentiel 66/19:00: (9.00) Mamelodi (5.80) Dortmund (1.30)22:00: (1.20) Inter Milan (6.75) Urawa RD (14.0)Sunday00:55: (1.27) Fluminense (5.60) Ulsan (12.0)04:00: (2.15) River Plate (3.35) Monterrey (3.45)19:00: (1.22) Juventus (6.25) Wydad Casablanca (14.0)22:00: (1.22) Real Madrid (6.50) Pachuca (12.0)Monday00:55: (4.10) Salzburg (3.60) Al Hilal (1.88)04:00: (1.05) Man.City (14.0) Al Ain (35.0)***odds are subject to change***
