Conte outlines how he wants to finish season with Chelsea
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has outlined his ambitions for the remainder of the season, as per a report from West London Sport.
It’s been a difficult campaign for the Blues. Following their triumph in the Premier League this season, they have endured a testing season with Conte coming in for plenty of criticism in the process.
Chelsea currently sit in 5th place and were eliminated from the Champions League on Wednesday night, as Barcelona came out on top 4-1 on aggregate in the round of 16 clash.
Conte, however, remains optimistic about his side’s chances of success this season. The Italian is looking to help his side secure a top four finish, meaning that they will qualify for next season’s Champions League.
He also outlined his desire to win the FA Cup with the Blues this season, with the team set for a trip to Leicester City tomorrow in the quarter-finals of the competition.
We have to try to do both. To try to reach the semi-final in the FA Cup it won’t be easy. Leicester is a good team. In the last game we played at home we suffered against them. Then to try to do our best also in the league, to find a place in the Champions League. It won’t be easy.
To win a trophy in England is always very tough. Before playing the final you have to face strong teams. It’s normal. This competition there is United, Tottenham, but also other teams.
They want to go to the next round to try to write the history of this competition.
