Chelsea are headed for a ninth league win in a row today
Antonio Conte is well aware that despite getting through some of the toughest matches of the Premier League, beating West Brom will not be easy. The focus, the intensity, the determination of the previous weeks has to be kept consistent.
Now, The Italian has revealed how he G’s up the Chelsea squad before taking to the pitch.
“In every game I ask always the same things of my players: be focused on the game; be focused about football; be focused to play football – only this. The other situations do not matter.”
“If I see in the training great intensity, great attention, great focus I am calm and if I don’t see this I worry. We are working very well, but I hope we can now complete our week in the right way.”
Antonio Conte speaks about Diego Costa:
“I think Diego is a real warrior and he is good for the team because it is important to have many warriors during the game because every game is a battle, a sporting battle. Diego is showing great patience and he can put this into the team in the best way.”
“I think it is fantastic for him, for the team, for the club and for the fans. He is playing very well and we are working a lot to involve him in our play. He is improving a lot and Diego is showing the right part of him now.”
“John [Terry] is injured but he is continuing to be a leader in the changing room.”
“This is important for me because John is our captain and you are captain always – if you play, if you don’t play, if you are injured – and he is showing me great commitment and I am pleased for this. It’s important to also increase the leadership in the other players. I like to see this and I ask this of my players. I think we are improving on this aspect.’
