Chelsea ended their pre-season tour of Asia with a 2-1 defeat to Seria
A side Inter Milan.
The defeat followed a 3-2 reverse against Bayern Munich earlier in the week.
Following these defeats, the Chelsea manager has come out to say that
the club must avoid a poor defence of the title they won last season
by not finishing in 10th position, which was where Chelsea ended up
the season after they won the title under the tuteluge of Jose
Mourinho, who was sacked half way through that season.
Oblivious of the fact that he could go the way of other managers who
had been sacked a season after they won the title, the Italian has
declared that they must start strong.
"Two years ago Chelsea finished 10th; that cannot happen again," he
asserted after the match in Singapore
"We know the difficulty and for sure we want to avoid the Mourinho
season with Chelsea," Conte continued
"The coaches of the previous two champions [Chelsea and Leicester]
both lost their jobs [the next season] and we are working very well to
find the best solutions and use them,"
"We have a lot of young players and it is necessary to try and develop them."
The Premier League champions are due back in London on Sunday. They
will play Arsenal in the season's curtain raiser, the Community Shield
match at Wembley stadium on August 6th.
