It may be accepted now, after yesterday’s 3-1 win over Manchester City at the Etihad, that Chelsea are favourites to win the Premier League this season, with no European competition to worry about.
Antonio Conte is already doing wonders at the London club, who are comfortably sitting on the top of the standings. After Conte’s tactical switch in the defence, Chelsea look like a strong unit, and the likes of Diego Costa and Eden Hazard are back to their best.
Conte also deserves huge credit for relaunching Victor Moses’ career, and the Nigerian international has been a revelation this season.
Juventus’ CEO Beppe Marotta has been speaking to Premium Sports (via Tutto Mercato Web).
Marotta believes Chelsea deserve to be on top of the table, and that the team are showing the characteristics of Antonio Conte.
He said: “The team plays according to the coach’s characteristics. Chelsea are a very good team, deservedly on top of the table. When we talk about Conte and Chelsea, we talk about important figures.”
Conte deserves all the plaudits he’s getting at Chelsea. A initial difficult start led to ridiculous rumours his job was in danger, but the Italian hasn’t been shaken and it’s clear he’s already put his own imprint on the squad available.
