Antonio Conte's London "Chelsea" club fell into a hole.
After winning three games in a row at the start of the English Premier League season, the "Blues" club now failed to achieve victory for the same number of times in a row. At the "Emirates" stadium yesterday, "Chelsea" had to settle for a painful defeat in the London derby against "Arsenal".
The strategist believes that the team still needs to work hard to achieve results. According to A. Conte, the team is currently only good "on paper".
"Now everyone can see that we need to work hard. Right now we are a great team only "on paper,"" the coach said. "I think it is a problem of the entire team, not just certain players. When nothing works, it is very difficult to play good matches."
"We know that we have a lot of hard work to do. I do not think the current team is ready to fight. We have to wait for when a good team will be not only good "on paper", but also on the field. This is very important," the Italian continued.
When asked about Gary Cahillo's mistake, A. Conte responded, "I do not want to talk about it, because it is not fair to the player. We win and lose as a team."
The "Chelsea" club, with 10 points, dropped to eighth place in the Premier League.
