Antonio Conte, making his debut as head coach of London's Chelsea club in the English Premier League, did not hide his joy after a victorious evening and praised the team for their excellent performance.
Last night, at Stamford Bridge stadium, the last match of the first round of the new Premier League season took place. After a tough battle, Chelsea won with a score of 2-1 against West Ham. The victory was brought to the "Blues" by a superb goal scored by Diego Costa in the 89th minute.
"I am happy with the team's performance. I saw many positive things," said A. Conte at a press conference. "We played intensely and pressed the opponents. We know that we can still improve our game, but it was very important to start the season with a victory."
Asked if Chelsea will try to "implant" their football philosophy in the team, A. Conte replied: "It is normal for every coach coming to a new team to try to implement their philosophy. I have only been working with the team for a month, but I am satisfied with the current work."
"I am especially pleased with the intensity shown. It is important to find something new after last season. I am satisfied with the players' dedication, as it is important not only to demonstrate good play, but also to maintain the right spirit within the team," added the strategist.
In the second round of the Premier League, Chelsea will have an away match against Watford players.
