Conte wants Chiellini reunion at Chelsea

“I don’t want him to focus on other players, other managers or the press or people that talk badly about him”, the Italian said.

The post Antonio Conte: I Need Another Defender appeared first on 360Nobs.com. This was a huge success and the question was asked if he would take the risk and apply this to English football.

Conte made his way across the sea and started his reign at Chelsea.

Summer signing N’Golo Kante, who has already established himself as a key presence at the base of the Chelsea midfield, added: “We hope to keep going in this way”.

“It s important to change the situation compared to last season and we are trying to do that with all our strength”.

Antonio Conte sides are famously known for being a family.

“It’s important to read the game and the situation, usually when you are watching the game you look at the ball”.

This is the first step to redemption after a torrid season. Chelsea are only two games into the season but they already seem to have rekindled the “never say die attitude” that they are so famously known for down the years with two wins coming in the dying minutes of games.

“Or at the end when we played with 4-4-2, I shouted to the wingers to stay wide, but it is not easy.it’s important to support the players and I know that sometimes that they hear me, and sometimes they (pause).choose not to hear”.

Antonio Conte has lost only one of his last 32 league games as a club manager (W29 D2). It’s important to create the right feeling because myself and my staff try to give 110 per cent in our work every day.

Having relied on a late Costa strike to beat West Ham on Monday, Conte’s men were largely disappointing but found a way to win. In these two games, we saw this.

Thankfully for Chelsea such a shortfall did not prove detrimental as late goals from forward pair Michy Batshuayi and Diego Costa – the latter of whom was fortunate not to receive a second yellow card for simulation – cancelled out an opening goal from Etienne Capoue, but Conte is clearly eager to reinforce that area of his squad before the midnight deadline on 31 August.

He said: “Fitness might come into it a little bit, but it’s still early in the season and we’re all finding our feet”.
