Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has admitted that his side have to learn from the mistakes they made in their 2-1 loss to Liverpool on Friday.
Chelsea will be looking to top the Premier League table with a win over Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. The win moved us up to fourth in the Premier League and our league position is all the more remarkable considering the tough start to the season.
“I’m really not interested”, he told a reporter in the Stamford Bridge press conference room when asked about Liverpool’s title prospects. “My answer was ‘are you crazy?'” Klopp laughed. Everyone who plays against Chelsea knows it’s hard to play against them, they are really well organised, but we created the space and played in them. “We defended excellently, and deserved the three points”.
Jurgen Klopp said Liverpool “played football like hell” as his side defeated Chelsea 2-1 on Friday night.
David Luiz, meanwhile, lost to Liverpool on his second Chelsea debut, following his return to the club from Paris Saint-Germain – just as he had in his first appearance in February 2011. It’s about finding a solution for the opponent.
“We played football like hell, it was really nice to watch”, said the German. We can come through the lines by running. They pressurised us and we couldn’t cope with it. “We have to improve, but we don’t run like insane all the time“.
“We’ve been brilliant the last few weeks and in training we’ve been brilliant all week, so I had a good feeling going into the game [and] we produced”.
They should have dealt better with Philippe Coutinho’s cross, which could have been put in by any one of four unmarked Liverpool players with Lovren doing the honours.
Conte refused to be too critical of his players however, but he admits he sees plenty of room for improvement.

“We have to reflect a lot on this game because it is important to understand the situation if we don’t want to repeat another bad season like last season”. “The biggest was Divock Origi, so it could have even been 3-1 to us, but 2-1 I am completely fine with”. For this reason we must pay attention in every single moment of the game, in every minute. “I’m guilty because I’m the coach and it means I have to work more”.
