This is why I never sucked off Conte. Dude is doing just as good/better, with better football, and 3 of our best players left. We just have a good squad overall. That was the #1 factor.
Conte gave us A framework to work with, but it wasn't THE framework. The squad is good enough that it can use different tactics.
to be honest, though, playing good football isnt that hard. It's the tough moments where Inter coaches are made. Most (but not all) of our coaches in the last few seasons have had impressive moments, but many of them fail to recover from the first challenges. Lets see how we sit in 3 months time, before we start hailing him as the best manager ever.
Conte deserves a huge amount of respect for what he did - he brought in many of the players that are the backbone of this team, he developed our players massively, I dont think our team would be anywhere near as good as it is now if it wasnt for Conte focusing on drilling these guys so much, for example, and getting the best out of Skriniar, Barella, Bastoni, etc.
Solid foundations are what allow us to play good attacking, free flowing football. If we didnt have solid foundations we'd just be Leeds.
