Antonio Conte felt the ‘blood of his rivals’ after securing the 4th spot

Antonio Conte feels proud with his team’s consistent performances.

The North London club has capitalised on Arsenal’s mishap after winning 4-0 against Aston Villa over this weekend.

Conte’s men are now fourth in the league standings with 57 points whereas Arsenal are behind with 54 points with a game in hand.

The Italian coach was happy with the squad’s composure and attitude during the first half of the game and could feel the blood of their rivals.

“It was a great win for us, especially coming after your rivals have played and lost: Wolverhampton, Manchester United and Arsenal,” Conte said.

“In this moment you start to feel the blood. It is important in this moment not to fail. We are working a lot on the mentality and the players are giving me satisfaction.

“At the same time, I know we have to work on this improvement. Because there are not only the tactical, technical and physical aspects but there is the mentality. There is a lot of space for improvement.”
