Premier League champions Chelsea open the defence of their title at
Stamford Bridge against Burnley on Saturday. Ahead of that match,
manager Antonio Conte addressed the media on a variety of things.
The club has seen some high profile departures in John Terry, who left
on freedom of contract and Nemanja Matic who was sold to Manchester
United. While several youth players have since departed.
In their stead, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Antonio Rudiger and Alvaro Morata
have been signed for a combined amount of over £130m But Conte is keen
to make more signings.
He was asked on whether the club's title defence is hinged on securing
more signings, he answered in the affirmative.
"Yes, for sure. This league is not easy.
"It's different in other countries where there are two clubs fighting
for the title. This league has six teams that are very strong and we
have to be ready to fight for this season.
"We want to be competitive and fight for the title. I hope to try and
work and improve our squad and our quality, and then be ready to fight
for this season."
