“Sometimes I think it’s important, when you’re a manager, not only to think about win, lose or draw”.
Chelsea’s strong start to the season has been undermined by defensive frailties in recent games, with Conte’s side conceding twice in each of their last three fixtures in all competitions.
However, according to The Telegraph, he could be set to return from the start against his former club, as he looks to build on his impressive performance against Leicester City in midweek in the EFL Cup.
“I’m sure that Arsenal will fight until the end to win the title because they’re a very good team, (with) young players, great technique, good players with good physical potential and organisation”.
Cesc Fabregas has admitted he would have left Chelsea this summer if he believed he wasn’t good enough to play in Antonio Conte’s team. “I lived moments there that I have probably not lived elsewhere in my career”, Fabregas said, as quoted by the Evening Standard.
Cesc Fabregas has once again reiterated his commitment to Chelsea, but admits he would rather play than watch from the bench. “I’m one more of the team and I will keep fighting to play here”, the midfielder said in an interview with Cadena COPE. I am satisfied when I see this behavior. I don’t know (when he will be back).
Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri, who made seven changes, was philosophical about the defeat, acknowledging Cahill’s goal just before half-time changed the game. This problem was already there last season because Chelsea conceded 55 goals. He added his team needed a good game on Saturday to get back on track after the defeat to Liverpool. “But I didn’t think to leave Chelsea, not even for a second”. “In this case it is important (to listen to) what the player feels and the pain he is in”, Conte told reporters.

“Of course now we have to work more and more to give them 90 minutes because when I need them they must be fit 100 percent”.
