Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini has heaped praise on Tottenham boss Antonio Conte.

Chiellini admits Conte transformed the way Juve traditionally played.

He said, "The new football? Conte brought it to us for the first time, then we continued with different facets, but Antonio really changed our vision of football.

"I never thought of starting to play with the desire to dribble inside the area, to look for a through ball. I am always for a balance as in all things, but it is clear that now in football having control of the game and of the ball is increasingly important.

"I don't like those who really don't play at all, but neither do those who play even when they are not needed and do it only for pure aesthetics."
