Now, with Conte in charge and stability restored at Stamford Bridge, the 25-year-old, who captained his country in France, has started the new season in sparkling form. Eden Hazard and Willian were on the scoresheet in the first half to cap a fantastic display of attacking football from the Blues.
“The press always asked me this question during my first year at Juventus”, he added.
“I think most important thing is to work to improve the squad and improve your players”.
However, Dyche insists those illustrious names will also matter little to Burnley’s players once kick off comes, as they proved last week in defeating Liverpool 2-0 at Turf Moor.
“I also can tell Eden his performance can improve a lot but I’m please for his commitment, and work rate”.
His manager Antonio Conte suggested that Willian was in contention to start this weekend, telling reporters at his Friday press conference, “He had a good session with the team today”.
Both Chelsea and Manchester United have new managers this season and early results already show that the EPL could turn into a clash of coaching giants, pitching Antonio Conte at Chelsea with the club’s former manager Jose Mourinho who is now at Man United.
Reported in the Sun, Conte is set to send out a clear message to his players that they will not be considered for selection if they do not abide by his philosophy.
The result preserved Conte’s flawless start to life as Chelsea head coach and after the match Hazard hailed the impact of his new boss, whom he says has made a point of challenging him to ask different questions of opposition defenders. “He is an important young player with great improvements that he can make in the future”.
There’s work to be done in the future, though for now, it’s time for an global break (ugh). But we have to stop.
“To start the season with three wins, and a win in the cup, is good for the confidence of the players and the fans, and me”.
“So we know the challenge that’s ahead of us and we know there’s a group we’re looking to get points against and there’s a group that’s very hard to get points against”.

“It s tough”, he said.
