The Chelsea boss has responded to Morata’s poor performance against Bournemouth.
Morata, however, did score a basic tap-in to the empty net before just half-time, but it wasn’t counted as Azpilicueta was offside as he striked the ball on goal before the striker had his rebound effort.
The £70m summer signing is now suffering from a five-game goal drought, but in the post-match interview Antonio Conte said he’s not worried about Morata’s situation, especially because of his recent injury problems.
“I am happy with his commitment and desire, and will to fight. Don’t forget he is recovering from a muscular problem. I am very happy for his performance. A lot of time he recovered a very important ball in transition.”
“When you create chances to score it is right to take these chances. If you keep the result only 1-0 then you risk the draw. For us the win was very important, against Watford and then continue against Everton. Now to prepare in the best way in the Champions League. ”
