Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio credits coach Antonio Conte for his stunning form this season.

Marchisio was being linked with a summer exit before the start of the campaign, but he's now an untouchable in the Bianconeri midfield.

"I think the new system has helped bring out my best qualities," he told Reuters.

"I've always thought of myself as a central midfielder with good technical ability and a good engine," he added.

"The boss' new style helps my game and I've been able this season to get in between the opponents' defensive lines."
