Conte: Patience key in Chelsea win
Chelsea’s Gary Cahill, center, scores his side’s second goal of the game during their English Premier League soccer match against Everton at Goodison Park, Liverpool, England, Sunday, April 30, 2017.
The Blues legend also thinks that is a big dividing line with Spurs, who he says can not win ugly.
Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League title charge could rest on picking up all three points at home to arch-rivals Arsenal on Sunday. “Maybe they missed two good chances in the first half but it is a team without playing on a high football level they will win the game because they have that quality”.
“In this type of game it’s easy to lose your head, lose your balance”, Conte told Sky Sports. “For us it is very important to look at ourselves, to prepare very well for this type of game”. Chelsea boss Antonio Conte: It is a great win but at this part of the season every win is a great win for us. “We must look step by step”.
“Koeman said of Chelsea: “[They are] confident in having a good defence defending the 1-0 and 2-0 up and waiting for space and chances.
“We are ready and we have worked hard to arrive here to fight for the title”, Conte said.
Three-time European Cup victor Pedro shocked Gary Neville by scoring the kind of goal three-time European Cup winners occasionally score, as Chelsea took a priceless 1-0 lead away to Everton.
“I m buzzing with that, it s a huge result for us”.
Next up for Everton is a trip to relegation-threatened Swansea City next weekend. Calum Chambers restored Boro’s lead on 77 minutes, but Jesus converted Aguero’s cross from close range eight minutes later to secure a share of the spoils for Pep Guardiola’s side. “We like to keep momentum at home, we are strong at home and we know what we need (to do) to face the best team of the Premier League”.
“A sublime free-kick by Icelandic worldwide Gylfi Sigurdsson gained Swansea a deserved point against United at Old Trafford and dented Jose Mourinho’s hopes of breaking into the top four”.
United captain Wayne Rooney converted a penalty won by Marcus Rashford but Gylfi Sigurdsson equalized directly from a free kick in the 79th minute.
But from 25 yards out, the 29-year-old got his left-footed shot away.
The potential champions suddenly got the upper-hand in a game that remained a close affair.
In turn, Chelsea in the current season is still one of the main contenders for both winning the championship and winning the FA Cup.
There was further bad news for United’s overworked medical staff, with Luke Shaw and Eric Bailly picking up injuries to join a cluttered treatment room. “They have that quality and, once they are ahead, they know how to kill the game”.
