Chelsea was in the headlines last week after Antonio Conte signed a new contract and Alvaro Morata was officially acquired. The Italian manager addressed numerous topics in an interview with the Daily Mail, starting with his desire to stay with the Blues despite a challenging first season:"I found myself in a new country without my family, it was important that I understand the situation from all angles. I certainly enjoyed my first season in England and with Chelsea, but I must be honest it was very difficult for me and my family. Certainly my idea was always to stay at Chelsea and continue this work. My desire and the club's was to continue so I renewed the contract"
Antonio Conte was asked about Alvaro Morata:"I wanted him when I was at Juventus. He was very young at the time, but after the experiences in Italy and at Real Madrid, I believe he's ready for Chelsea. He and Lukaku are on the same level, first choices for top clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United. Diego Costa? In January the situation was clear to everyone: we would part ways in June. I made this decision in January and I respected it. The most important thing is the team not the individual"
