(Reuters) - Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is pleased with the way his side have reacted to setbacks this season and says the players have shown great character to reach the last 16 of the Champions League. "This group is showing great character," Conte told reporters after the match. "These players show me every day great commitment, great will, desire to fight." Conte has questioned the lack of preparation time between domestic and European fixtures and raised the issue again as Chelsea turn their attention to Saturday's Premier League trip to Liverpool. Chelsea, third in the league, nine points adrift of leaders Manchester City, have won two and drawn three of their last five league games at Anfield.
