The Nigerian global, who scored last Tuesday in the League Cup tie against Bristol Rovers, was again on hand to help Chelsea continue their ideal start to the season.
Fearing Chelsea won’t get any deals done in time, Conte on Friday made it clear he is anxious his rebuilding project at Stamford Bridge will be undermined.
Willian put Chelsea 2-0 up just before half-time, and Victor Moses sealed the victory with a late goal. Eden is a fantastic player, working very well with a great attitude.
“After the first day I saw this – his will to work very well, to find a good shape very soon. I’m pleased with his commitment and work-rate”. That is good news for the players, for me and for the fans.
Victory means Chelsea are now top of the table with nine points from three games.
“I’m pleased for him”, added Conte. “He knows players because he used to be one”. For those who don’t know – I’m looking at you, professional football commentator Tony Gale – the Rabona is when you kick the ball with your inside foot by wrapping it around your standing foot.
Cesc Fabregas’ days at Stamford Bridge are numbered after a conversation with Chelsea boss Antonio Conte revealed that he would be allowed to leave the club before the end of the transfer window on Wednesday.
We started nervously while a strong Chelsea team quickly found their rhythm, making us fear that it could be a long night ahead. After three wins, I wanted to continue playing games. But we have to stop.
Chelsea have not made the most convincing starts to their campaign and they managed to only scrape past Bristol Rovers 3-2 in their midweek EFL Cup clash on Tuesday night.
“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”.
When quizzed over the club’s transfer business, Conte told reporters: “We didn’t refuse to spend the money for the right targets”. It s a tough market. “I’ve got that with this manager now”. “But we ll keep on trying”.
“They were far better than us”.
