Antonio Conte is a tactical master - Pep Guardiola

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has praised Antonio Conte for changing English football even though he is surprised at Chelsea's poor defense of their Premier League title.
Conte secured the title in his first season at Stamford Bridge having arrived in the Premier League at the same time Guardiola was appointed as Manchester City boss.

Presently City hold a 16-point lead over neighbours Manchester United at the summit with Chelsea six points further adrift down in fifth.

He said "If you asked me at the beginning of the season, yes, and now too, yes, of course, but we are doing well. We dropped few points. That's why. The results from United, Tottenham, Chelsea, they are good. They are results to fight for the Premier League. We have 75 points and they still want 78 or 79, so we need 81 or 82 to be champion. In March we have a lot of points and there is that gap. We did it really well. But Chelsea, United, Tottenham, Liverpool have done it well, good. We did it well. The reason why there is a lot of points is we have done it really well."
