Count and the debutant's insomnia

It’s almost all set for the first time. Antonio Conte will make his Premier League debut on Monday, in the first Monday night of the season, at Stamford Bridge against West Ham. It will be a derby against Angelo Ogbonna, but the former Azzurri coach is obviously not thinking about that, but rather about controlling the excitement ahead of the long-awaited day.

Not an easy mission: : “Before matches I don’t sleep much and I don’t sleep well, I wake up several times, then in the early hours of the morning I always have clearer ideas to set the match. But I have difficult sleep even after defeats, it was like that after the game against Germany.”

Blues fans can only hope that Coach Antonio will rest normally for the whole season, but in the meantime, we need to get off to a good start. “Challenging battleships like United and City is a huge stimulus, but there are so many teams here that can aspire to the title,” said Conte, stingy on market anticipations except for Diego Costa:

“The players I have at my disposal are the same as last season, but they are also the ones who won the championship two years ago. The important thing is to regain confidence. The market has become crazy. When you get close to a name, the prices are high. I like Diego Costa, he always puts a lot of passion into training, he has the right attitude.”
