Chelsea stopper Thibaut Courtois has said that he and his teammates still believe in manager Antonio Conte after a difficult run of results as reported by the Metro.
The Chelsea boss saw a 4-1 loss for his side in the Premier League last night against Watford as his job comes under real scrutiny.
The Blues conceded three late goals and were consigned to their second consecutive three-goal margin defeat after losing 3-0 to Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge.
Conte and his team won the league last season but have struggled to back up this and currently lie 19 points behind league leaders Manchester City.
The Blues have had a poor season all round in truth losing to Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-final, face Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League but are still in the FA Cup.
The Belgium stopper spoke about how his side still believe in their manager:
We believe in him [Antonio Conte] and we believe in our team. We have two bad results and we just try to get back, regroup and just continue.
We showed that we wanted to fight even with 10 men and that shows we have character, but when you lose twice like that it is not good and there are questions raised, but we go back to training with the manager, and training well and turn this situation around.
He went on to add:
Obviously we are disappointed with the two results we have had in the last week, obviously it is not good but we have to regroup in training, have heads high and continue the hard work and just continue what we were doing.
We have now had two bad losses but we are a team with the manager, and everyone is positive about that, and we will try to do our best to win next week.
