Antonio Conte has sent a message to Alvaro Morata to get into shape
After making his full Chelsea debut in their friendly win over Inter Milan on Saturday, the Blues boss had his say on Morata’s performance.
The former Real Madrid star played 64 minutes of the 2-1 defeat in Singapore in which Chelsea had only a Geoffrey Kondogbia own goal to take away from the match.
Morata spent most of his time in a wide left role as Michy Batshuayi spearheaded the attack in what were fiercely humid and hot conditions.
Conte was as always honest in his post-match analysis of the Spain international, telling the official Chelsea website reporter that the player is “working well” but must “improve his physical condition” to fit into the team’s playing style.
Conte says Morata has to improve his physical condition to fit with his idea of football, but the player is working well. #CFCTour
