“No. My players showed me great will, great will to fight, great will to win, great will to take this great achievement for us”.

Chelsea are top and six points clear, with 13 straight wins helping them to the top of the pile and are looking to extend that run when they face Tottenham on Wednesday.
“If we review the game from November we deserved more at Stamford Bridge”.
Tottenham: Pochettino will be able to welcome Kyle Walker back from suspension for the visit of the league leaders, while Jan Vertonghen, having sat out the clash with Watford, is also set to return to the XI. “For this reason we need to continue our run”.
“I answer these questions always in the same way”, Conte said, as quoted by Metro.
Chelsea have not dropped points since switching to their 3-4-3 formation, including a 2-1 win over Tottenham at Stamford Bridge. I watched a Europa League game against Fiorentina.
“They like to put a lot of pressure on when you are in possession”, Conte said. Mauricio Pochettino knows how crucial a win here would be and, as such, will field the strongest team available to him.
“I like to have my players in good form and then to make the best choice for the game”.
“The league is open. The way we played in that first half and killed it off in the second half, it was the flawless result”.
“Now we have two or three days to try and prepare in the best way for Chelsea”.
“It is a good problem”.
One criticism of the west London side has been their reliance on key players such as Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and N’Golo Kante, which has led to calls for Conte to strengthen his squad in January.
“I’m very pleased, the first half was great, one of the best of the season, it was a near ideal game and it was a shame to concede in the last minute”.
Per the source, Conte has added Kjaer to his shortlist and that the Italian manager will strengthen his defensive line over the transfer window.
“When Diego made a decision to stay, he said he wanted to fight for this club and for his shirt”.
“He has been showing great passion in the right way and we are happy about this – the club and his team-mates”.
