Not sure about that, Sarr bossed the midfield under Conte against Milan, he is much more athletic than either of the other two and does the defensive work.
Before that game though PEH and Bentancur were the preferred duo, Conte never uses more than 2 midfielders and these two kept us in the hunt right up until roughly Christmas. Don’t know why everyone seems to think that Conte did Sarr a disservice, he already had to try shoehorn in Bissouma pre-injury, and stuck with what was working besides that. It’s what any manager would do.
Now we employ a different system that requires 3 midfielders and less defensive minded tactics which allows for more dynamism in midfield.
It’s really not that deep. This isn’t aimed at you BTW more the idea that Conte did something wrong by not choosing Sarr ahead of others.
