“Personally I would like to see Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the Chelsea team too – he has not played at all in the Premier League so far this season, and I don’t know why”.

The Spain global is yet to start a Premier League match under Conte and, although he praised Fabregas, the Italian was not ready to offer any guarantees.
But the former Arsenal man remained at Stamford Bridge and has claimed a move overseas was never on the cards for the 29-year-old. Sometimes he’s a little bit insane on the bench but you know he’s always like this.
“In the other game, we deserved the red card because we were caught on a quality run by him”.
“It is fantastic if someone is able to stay for 20 years in the same club”, added Conte. The 35-year-old trained with the first-team squad this week but is not deemed fit enough to play; next weekend’s trip to Hull City is a more realistic target. “We know we have to work to improve because I know we can improve a lot, this is important”. “I hope I can, and I hope Antonio can help me to do this”.
“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”.
“I have a great desire within, to play and work”. “I lived moments there that I have probably not lived elsewhere in my career”, Fabregas said, as quoted by the Evening Standard. When I called him to come on in the Liverpool game, too.
Despite his defiance, Fabregas has admitted that his absence from Chelsea’s starting line-up has proved hard for him.
“Sometimes I think it is important to value a manager not only if he wins, loses or draws”. They are a good team with young players who are a good technical, footballing team. If you see a coach or manager works very well and, during the season, you can’t win, you must view him for his job, for his work.

“I think that it is always a team problem, not individual players”. You need time. I am confident about this.
