Before the season, Antonio Conte, who stood at the helm of London's Chelsea, did a shoulder job. The 47-year-old specialist from Italy managed to create such a Chelsea machine that even he is surprised by the results achieved. Currently, the "Blues", who have become the leaders of the English Premier League, have won nine consecutive Premier League matches and are aiming for a championship record. In the 2001-02 season, the historic Arsenal team defeated opponents in 13 consecutive matches. "To win 9 consecutive victories is fantastic. I hope we continue this series - I wanted a similar style of play, but I didn't expect it," the coach said. "Opinions change very quickly and I don't like it. 4-5 months ago, no one mentioned Chelsea as favorites to win the title or secure a place in the Champions League. And yet we are the same team. Just like at the beginning of the season, we have the same players and coach. I am glad that the hard work is starting to pay off," said A. Conte.
