Conte gives positive reaction to Chelsea win

Conte would like one quality centre-back and a top-class striker, but Chelsea have been frustrated by the huge fees they have been quoted for the likes of Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly and AC Milan’s Alessio Romagnoli.

The Clarets take on the highly fancied Chelsea at Stamford Bridge tomorrow.

“It is important to have the right number of players in the squad”.

‘He’s tried to give us confidence, ‘ Hazard told Chelsea TV.

Sean Dyche: “We know the main target this year: It doesn’t mean we’re diminishing the thought of a cup, but the main goal is what we’re trying to achieve in the Premier League, we know that”, Dyche said. “It’s important not to forget this”.

“There isn’t a specific number”, the Italian told Sky Sports, but firmly stated “The club and I are working very hard every day to find the right solution in transfer market because we all know that this transfer market is very insane”.

“I must be honest”. But we understand that our targets are very hard to reach. The market is very insane.

Speaking ahead of Burnley’s visit to Stamford Bridge tomorrow, he said: “I believe with this market it’s very hard. Throw in some very poor decisions and you don’t really stand a chance”.

The only frustration for Conte is that after such a quick start to his new career in England he has to face an global break as most of his players head off to play for their countries in World Cup qualifying matches.

“There are no easy games in the Premier League”, said Victor Moses, who scored the decisive goal against Rovers.

Nemanja Matic did well to get on the ball and release Hazard inside the Chelsea half but the Belgian still had plenty of work to do. “It’s important, above all, for the work of the players”. “We played three games and we won all of them. To start in a good way is good for me”.

And afterwards Hazard praised the impact of Conte, who enjoyed a successful playing career with Juventus and Italy – unlike Mourinho who never made the grade as a player.

Attacking midfielder Eden Hazard says manager Antonio Conte asked him to be very active in Chelsea’s offensive department.

Two seasons ago, Hazard was arguably the best player in the Premier League as his 14 goals and nine assists helped Chelsea to win the title. We have to be together.
