Chelsea manager Antonio Conte says it is very important for his players to understand his idea of football. He said the new players Alvaro Morata, Antonio Rudiger and Tiemoue Bakayoko have to get used to his idea of football, particularly Bakayoko who is still out injured, he hopes the French midfielder returns to full training soon. It is important the players get his idea of football, else they risk receiving text messages.
‘We hope for them to recover very well,’ added Conte. ‘You know the importance of these players but we will not rush them back.
‘Every player must be in the best form to play otherwise they are put in a bad position which could be damaging for the team.’
‘For me it is very important for the players to understand my idea of football,’ said Conte, speaking in Singapore ahead of their final game of the pre-season tour, against Inter Milan on Saturday.
‘Bakayoko, at the moment, he doesn’t know anything about my idea of football,’ he added. ‘For sure, he needs a bit of time to adapt and understand.
‘This is the great difficulty for a coach that has an idea of football and wants to give an identity.
‘When you sign a player you need a bit of time to bring the player into your idea.
‘It is the same now for Alvaro Morata and for Antonio Rudiger. For sure, if the player arrives as soon as possible, it is easy for me.’
Bakayoko hopes to be available for the London derby against Tottenham, the second fixture of the Premier League campaign.
