Chelsea had a rocky return to England after their recent Champions League match which gave them even less time to prepare the upcoming match against Liverpool. Manager Antonio Conte gave more details in the pre match press conference, while also addressing why he got rid of the good luck beard:”Our flight from Baku had some issues on the descent to Gatwick because of the strong winds. We weren’t able to land on the first attempt because of the strong wind gust, the second time it went well. I was a bit frightened but the captain did a good job. Getting home at six in the morning before such a complicated match isn’t simple but we practiced well today. Why did I get rid of the good luck beard? My daughter told me I look much older with the beard”
