Antonio Conte has always been a stubborn man, but he was lucky last season and won the Scudetto no stress.
He should not let his love for Romelu Lukaku ruin his title race. For every team it is important to have atleast more than striker, Arsenal has suffered it , Chelsea has suffered it also in a way. The only one who playing without a striker worked for has been Pep Guardiola’s Man City. Conte and Napoli probably depends on other players aside the striker to score, hopefully it works for them again.
Yes that is true that Antonio Conte is popular for his style and reliance on specific players like Romelu Lukaku. And his success in winning titles proves his methods can work with he uses main striker or more flexible attack. His teams do not always depend on one player for goals. Instead of this they are designed so that goals can come from many different positions making team harder to defend. And some teams have struggled without consistent goal scorer like Arsenal and Chelsea having top forward alongside other attacking threats gives team more options and depth to win in different situations.
