He's put all the rumours to bed in his latest interviews. Said he is at Chelsea to stay for a long time. You never know what is going to happen with Chelsea and Roman Abramovich, but this time you just get the feeling that the club has finally found the right manager. Fans simply adore him and even legends such as Lampard and Terry have backed him lately to succeed here for a very long time.
One or two years ago Terry would say he's unhappy watching from the bench week-in, week-out, but not anymore. Two days ago he was invited for an ITV show alongside Frankie Lampard and was asked about this and he responded that he simply can't do anything about it as Conte has totally changed the club and been a true gentleman, talking face to face with every player explaining why they can't be playing that much anymore and as long as the team's winning then he's more than happy with staying on the bench.

Manchester United and City are superior to Chelsea - Conte

The Italian's side may be cruising towards the Premier League title, but he is insistent that there are stronger units in England
Antonio Conte believes Manchester United and Manchester City have the strongest squads in the Premier League, despite his Chelsea side establishing a dominant 10-point cushion at the top of the table.
Chelsea host United in a blockbuster FA Cup quarter-final at Stamford Bridge on Monday, and Conte is expecting a tough game, although his team, widely dubbed the champions-elect, are sitting 17 points clear of Jose Mourinho's Red Devils in the league.
The Old Trafford men are unbeaten in the league since they were beaten 4-0 at Chelsea in the Premier League on October 23, but they have been unable to climb higher than sixth.
Despite their inability to break into the top four, Conte was full of praise for the quality available to managerial rivals Mourinho and Pep Guardiola.
"I think Manchester United, with City, have the best squad in the league," Conte told reporters on Friday. "They have a lot, a number of great players with great talent and great experience to win.
"For sure, it can be a really tough game, for us and for them. I think that now, for us, it is better. We have a good identity, a good team. So we are showing good football. But, for sure, it will be a really tough game against United. We are facing a good team, very strong."
Chelsea have the chance to win the league and cup double in Conte's first season in English football, matching compatriot Carlo Ancelotti's achievement in the 2009-10 campaign, but the Italian played down the club's chances of collecting multiple trophies.
"First of all, we have to win. We have to win," Conte stressed. "Now it's very difficult to say this because I think we need 24 points to be sure to win the title. There are 11 games to go. For us, it's important to go game by game in the league, in the championship, but also in the FA Cup.
"Now we have the FA Cup on Monday, a really tough game. We want to get into the next round, but we all know this game will be very difficult. But we want to try and go into the next round. Then we'll see. Until now, we didn't win anything. Nothing."
Conte also offered support to under-fire Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who has been heavily criticised after his side's 10-2 aggregate humiliation against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
He added: "It's not an easy moment for Wenger, but we are talking about a great manager.
"I think that, in 20 years at Arsenal, he did very well. He worked a lot. Every year Arsenal stay in the Champions League. Now, I think, this could also be a good target because, in England, it's not easy.
"You have to fight, this season, with six teams. Next season, seven or eight teams to find the right place. He won in the past with Arsenal. I don't know if it's too much or not, to win, but I think he deserves respect for his past, for his work."

Thank you everyone for remembering AbuGadanzieri. AbuGadanzieri are always impressed by your intelligent yet clever comments and they would be glad to confer their knowledge upon you. As you know, typically AbuGadanzieri prefer to respond to any comments by urging people to think and discuss. However, this time they would like to help you figure the conclusion for yourself. What you said was profound simply because we knew it was sincere and positive. Congratulations, your ambitions will be rewarded. You have been chosen to ascend to our level. We will guide you through the path that will erase your PAIN and make you whole AGAIN but most importantly lead you to a place where every discussion is about football. You will be the envy of every InterMerdista and a role model for wisdom seekers as you stand to our right engulfed in our Bianconeri colors. We know this can be overwhelming but fear not as we will be your chaperone throughout your initiation rite. All you have to do is participate. First, stand up.... or sit down. Next, count the toes on your right foot. If the answer is anything but five, we urge you not to panic and scream “Dai! Dai! Dai!” please remain focused .....many individuals had difficulties staying attentive and they suffered socially, mentally and in their careers. The second step is to recount the same toes, and if you got the same number then your first counting was correct and that is good for you... and good for us too. This is a sign that you are saved... you are found... and you belong with us.... but you are not quite there yet. You will start hearing inner voices of doubt. Voices of the false idols of Milan, Inter, Napoli, Roma and Fioren9iza. These voices will cultivate a compulsion for impure behaviors. Remember, this is just a mirage. They will Grygera when you Molinaro and as soon as you start to Zebina you have to take the leap of faith with Lanzafame. If you feel that you have successfully Almeroned your Melberg you should know that you have completed your treatment and qualified to the last stage, but if not, you should Jorge Martinez your way in. The final test requires you to get a hand held mirror. Look into it deeply. If you CANNOT see your image anymore this could mean one of two things. This could mean that you have been accepted by AbuGadanzieri and turned away from your physical form to be with the ONE... knowing that even the MANY are made of several ONEs. Or this could mean that you are looking at the wrong side of the mirror and you need to turn it around and look at the reflective side. You will hear whispers in your left ear saying “please discuss”. This means that you have been Del Pieroed and all of your Morattis and Berlusconis are completely exorcised. NOW you can represent us... represent AbuGadanzieri. You might have some fear of AbuGadanzieri but do not worry we will cure your AbuGadanzieri phobia. But you have to remain with us... under our supervision.... after all we don't want your AbuGadanzieri phobia to turn into AbuGadanzieri addiction due to the lack of focus we mentioned earlier. As you stop thinking of yourself as an AbuGadanzieri and instead know that you are AbuGadanzieri, you will be in a position to encourage others to follow your path and join us. This will unlock the door for you to be able to evoke our wisdom to answer your questions, comments and prayers. You are here now, and as you look around you, you will know that you are not the only ONE. AbuGadanzieri have elevated many other dear ONEs to our level. They all have been touched by AbuGadanzieri....and we don't mean it in that way. After all, Juventus won five consecutive scudetti and two Coppa Italia because AbuGadanzieri retained the unalienable right of opening the match thread at Xtratime every week....they will stay and fulfill their pact until Juventus wins the CL because they know there is “no buddy” capable of success after denouncing AbuGadanzieri's word. I hope this answers your questions and comments my dears. Now we go offline but we will never leave you. We will always be with you... Around you... Inside you. We never gonna give you up, We never gonna let you down, We never gonna run around and desert you
what you think
please discuss
