Courtois complains on Conte

The goalkeeper of Chelsea, Thibout Courtois admits that some of Antonio Conte’s training methods at Chelsea are boring.

Courtois said: “We worked on that a lot and maybe that is sometimes boring. As the manager compiled tactical videos.

“But it’s important to know how to do these things. In terms of food, drinks and everything, he put a new regime in place. In training, he wanted to put his mark on the group immediately, with videos to see how we would have to train and work, what we do well and tactically what to do.”

Talk ten days ago that Conte was about to be sacked proved false – and Chelsea issued a strong statement of support for the former Juventus supremo. The keeper’s comments, will though raise questions as to how well manager has been received in some quarters at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are now in verge of making a news record as they have won all of their last 10 premier league fixtures and are facing Crystal Palace in upcoming game week.
