"They're really strong at home, they're third in the table for home games with Chelsea top and Tottenham second," he told a news conference. They fight a lot, play a lot of long balls and put a lot of pressure when we have the ball." After taking four points from games against Liverpool and Arsenal, Chelsea's players were given extra time off. "I thought they deserved it because we had three games in seven days," said Conte, who took the opportunity to return to Italy. "If we think that with a nine-point lead we are close to winning the title it's a big mistake," he said.
