If you follow conte's Chelsea conferences, you will find him talking countless times on the position Chelsea was in last season. Get with it, this is conte. It's not a bad thing it's signifying the task he had at hand which is what made it extraordinary. Nothing wrong with that, we should never forget the bad times, it's called humility and at the same time it's taking the pressure off as well as giving a motivational drive to him and his players to win. He fed that to our players and no doubt his doing the same at Chelsea.

Oh it's very bad thing and I can explain why but I expect everyone should know honestly.

Thats a bunch of bs, ihave seen plenty of his pressers and he never mentioned that, all he said is that this is a long term project and a rebuild.

I don't care about the "where we came from" comments. I've got no problem with it.

The one thing that I cannot shake as far as what could have been was the Europa League. I get it. It's only the Europa League. However, the chance to play in your home stadium in a European Cup final comes along as often as Haley's Comet. His obvious disregard for the opportunity to have something truly unique happen for the sake of chasing a Serie A record at a time where the Scudetto was already decided well beforehand really bothered me. That still would have been a nice piece of silverware for the cabinet.

I don't know what they think of the other managers, but Conte's goal celebrations, screaming at Mourinho or digs at Manchester clubs about spending and failing does not seem very classy to me. I love the guy, but for me he's street Conte not some fine gentleman giving sophisticated answers in a press conference

"This week we studied our first half a lot and I showed how we can improve this situation in the future. Tottenham are a top team with a great squad and a great manager. Don’t forget, last season they fought for the title until the end while we arrived in 10th place."

"The pressure is normal - I prefer to have the pressure rather than not fight for the title and to joke in every moment. "
"We are lucky to have the pressure. Last season Chelsea had no pressure as they were 10th place. "

Conte said: 'I don't know if they are still affected by last season but, I repeat, when you finish the season in 10th place, something strange is there.
'It's not natural. It's not simple. When you finish in 10th place, it means that you have to work very hard to improve to make sure you don't repeat the bad season. We must feel the danger in every single moment of the game.

"We don't forget the past. The past is there, it's very clear. We finished (in) 10th place last season.

"When you finish 10th, it means you have problems. We must change the situation and we must work hard together and we are doing this.

Finishing 10th last year and having a 10th place quality squad are two different things. I would think that he would realize that. To say that the talent on that club last year was worthy of 10th place is ridiculous. It was down to bad coaching last season.

Thats conte and he will do the same at his next club but making sure he chooses a project where the club have come back from a bad season. He uses that to motivate his players and of course use it as an alibi. As for the classy manager, then I agree he isnt classy, his just passionate and puts all of his energy into the game like a fan, so his no mourinho (whose an asshole) who specifically and intelligently tries to piss people off (though with lack of success and motivation he does it infrequently), rather his just passionate and instinctive and at times stubborn. Either way, he comes as a package and just like marmite you either love it or dont.

Conte: ‘Never made Juve comparisons’
By Football Italia staff

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte insists he “never made comparisons” with his Juventus triumphs and “never will”.

The former Italy CT was asked if winning the Premier League title with the Blues would be his greatest achievement and replied “yes, for sure”.

That was taken as a diminishing of his three consecutive Scudetti in Turin, the first of which came after two seventh-place finishes.

After last night’s win over Southampton, the former Bianconeri Coach looked to clarify those comments, and today he has hit out at the reporting of his words.

“Nobody ever asked me to compare this possible victory to those at Juve,” Conte fumed in an interview with Sky.

“Since I left, there have been those who have fun trying to bring me down and turn the Juve supporters against me.

“I’ve never made any comparisons and I never will.

“Since I’ve been at Chelsea, I’ve always avoided talking about Juventus, just to make sure there’s no room for controversy. And yet people always find a way to put words in my mouth which I never said!

“I’m furious!”
