Antonio Conte Hails Five Star Chelsea

 

Antonio Conte said Chelsea's impressive 5-0 victory over Everton was important to reinforce their confidence and belief. Eden Hazard scored twice and Diego Costa, Pedro and Marcos Alonso also netted in a one-sided match at Stamford Bridge.

Conte labelled the performance as fantastic saying “We must stay calm and continue to work. When you have this type of performance, you are very happy. It's important to win but when you win this way playing good football with good intensity, with and without the ball, it's great. It can improve our confidence and I am very pleased. It's important to send a message to ourselves. It's important to focus on our way. We want to improve. This is the right way and it's important the players recognise it. It's important to celebrate this win but I'd like to say that now Everton is the past and after the international break we must be focused. It's important to have this type of performance because we continue to work and trust the work we are doing. We haven't conceded for five games in a row so you can be satisfied. We have good players who are very talented and you have to put these players in the best situations to exploit their talent. I am very pleased, there was a fantastic atmosphere and we must continue to work together”

Not only is the win Chelsea's fifth in succession, but they have also not conceded since switching to three at the back after losing 3-0 at Arsenal in late September.
