Antonio Conte's First Press Conference In Full


The blues boss appeared to the media for the first time since he took the reins at Stamford Bridge.He talked up a number of issues ahead of the new season which kicks off in August.
Conte On John Terry's Contract Renewal and Captaincy.
"He signed a contract as a player not as a different role.He is the captain of this team and a great player with great personality and charisma.I want to speak with him because he knows the club and the right spirit for the club".
"John Terry is captain when he plays and when he doesn't play.He is the captain always.
"John Terry is an important player for me,for the fans and for the club'.We all made the decision together.I'm very pleased he signed a new deal with Chelsea.I spoke with him on different occasions the most important thing was when John signed he was very happy".
Conte On 3-5-2 System
"Usually when I arrive at a new team,I search to find the right positions for the players".
"When I was in Italy I liked to say that a coach is like a tailor.You must build the best dress for a team,and you have to respect their characteristics and talents.Then you decide".
"In the past ,I started my seasons with one idea and then changed it because I saw this system was not good".

'Three at the back? Four at the back?.It's not important.What's important is the right spirit of the team and give good organization.I think I can improve my players a lot'.
Conte On What He Would Call Himself
 "Am not very good to find a different name.I hope during the season I give you this opportunity to find a new name for me.I hope it's a good name,not bad !"
Conte On Premier League Competition
"First and foremost,I felt very emotional on coming to Chelsea and it feels incredible".
"I am aware the league will be very competitive and I hope the winner of the Premier League next season will deserve it.I think we are underrated but I hope we can surprise people'.
I hope there is a small flame flickering that can grow to a blazing inferno".
Conte On His Coaching Experience
"What I'll bring with me from Italy is everything I've learned from my playing and coaching career.I'll try and represent my country and this is a great responsibility for me.I'll try and make my compatriots proud".

"It's tough to compare people.There are managers who are winners.I think regardless of the work they do,there is a winning mentality certain coaches have.I believe there are winners in football and not everyone has that".
Conte On The Manager He Will Be Calling For Advice
"There are a number of Italian coaches who represent our country in the Premier League. We are all responsible to represent Italy in this country.I can't wait to be part of it".
"In the coming days I will call Ranieri for a bit of advice. I am clued up on the customs of this country.When you move to a new country it's important to come in with a low profile and get grips with the new customs".
The Italian manager becomes the fifth person from his country to sit in the blues dugout.His first outing will be against Rapid Wien with the squad departing tomorrow for our Tour of Austria.
