Our versatile Spanish fullback believes the team are all round fit for the start of the new campaign having had a fruitful pre-season that ended with Sunday's 4:2 win over Bremen.
'We showed a great mentality.We played a very good first few minutes,we linked very well,we attacked and we pressed very well'.Our early dominance yielded two goals in the opening ten minutes.
Azplicueta also hailed Conte's efforts in keeping the team focused for the season ahead.
'Everytime the manager tries the best solution so we,the players,have to be ready to adapt to play in every system.The target is always the same,to beat the opponent,and with the different formations we can play we always have the ability to do that'.
Antonio Conte's ability to help the team adapt to various formation during a match could prove to be the key as the team looks to mount a serious title challenge.
