Chelsea manager Antonio Conte spoke ahead of another London derby against West Ham United, as the Blues are set to face Slaven Bilic side at the Olympic Stadium on Monday Night.
The Italian manager is confident that his side can produce a good performance against the Hammers: “I hope so because the result wasn’t good for us and we want to try to take three points, -Conte said – It will be a difficult game. We all know the difficulty of derbies but we are preparing very well for this game, in the right way with great commitment and focus”.
“For sure it will be a tough game and also we will know the results of the other teams so there will be positive or negative pressure. But we are ready to play this game and try to do better than last time”.
About Andy Carroll, who is still a serious doubt for the clash, he added: “Andy Carroll is a really good player, very strong physically and we must pay great attention, but we must pay attention to the whole West Ham team because in the League Cup they beat us”.
Then Conte ended: “We are preparing different solutions to limit the strengths of our opponent but it’s important for us to play our idea of football, bring our philosophy, try to play, score, defend very well and play with high intensity”.
