Conte Bans Chelsea Stars From Looking At The Log

Anthonio Conte

Antonio Conte's Chelsea have been in good form lately.

Antonio Conte has banned his Chelsea stars from talking about winning the Premier League until after Christmas following their2-0 win over Southampton on Sunday.
The Blues continued their impressive Premier League run as goals from Eden Hazard and Diego Costa saw them stay within a point of the leaders after 10 games.

And speaking after the game, Conte said: “At this moment, it’s not important for us to look at the table. We are in a good position, but it’s not important.
“We know that the road is long. I have confidence because we can improve. We can improve a lot. Not look at the table.
“But, if you ask me a prediction or an expectation of our championship, now it’s very difficult to talk about this.
“It’s important to pass many games in the first part of this season. And then you can see if you can stay up there in the title race.
“We are not looking at the table, but continuing just to work. You can judge us in the second part of the season. During January.”
It is remarkable to see how good they have gotten after they flirted with relegation last season in what was a disastrous title defence which saw Jose Mourinho fired last December, before finishing 10th.
