Ahead of the new Premier league season, new Chelsea Manager, Antonio Conte has urged his players to maintain the aggression and high intensity of football shown in pre-season.
This comes after a 1-0 win against Liverpool in the International Champions Cup (ICC) where Chelsea Midfielder Cesc Fabregas was given a straight red card for a rash challenge on Liverpool Defender, Ragnar Klavan and 6 other players where cautioned.
“I like my teams to be aggressive and I like if my team plays with great aggression and high intensity. We train to prepare for that because I want that my team has an identity,” Conte told Eurosport.
“I always gave an identity to my teams. I am searching to transfer this to my players. I am pleased because I see a great attitude. I want to continue in this way because this is the only way to come back very soon for the title.
“Not to speak, but actions. Now is not the moment to talk.”
Chelsea meet European Champions, Real Madrid on Saturday and end their ICC tour against AC Milan on Wednesday.
