How Did Counte Do It So Well in 2018?

I don't know if it was better to try and tackle him from behind or in the front, whichever is the best one. That's what Counte did. To make sure you stop him at source rather than get him going. Stop before he even gets the ball because once he's gone, there's no stopping him. I think also the Cavadio situation shows that just don't stay with him one for one because he'll do you.
