Antonio Conte

Even more than results, it matters that the players give everything for their shirt, and if they do that whether they're relegated or not, the fans are ready to applaud.

I prefer to be favourites on the pitch; not with words.

I don't trust the people when they say, 'There's pressure when you're top.' I prefer the pressure of being top of the table.

Only one player is not important. The most important thing is the squad, and it's important to be together. You can't just lose it over one player.

For every manager, it is important to explain your ideas. It's very important the club understand those ideas and are ready to work together.

My talent as a footballer was medium. But I had heart, a will to win, to work to overcome my limitations.

If you saw me as a footballer, when I played, I always showed a great passion. You saw Antonio Conte during the game showing passion.

To be captain and win a lot at Juventus, to play for 20 years, to play in the World Cup, European Cup, I think I had a good career, no?

When you try to build a team, you need a mix of talent.

It's important to understand that sometimes you have players with great talent to score goals - these players are important.

You are never relaxed in England. You have a tough league, the Champions League, the FA Cup and Carabao Cup.

I don't want to go into the situation of the other teams, other clubs, other managers. Every single club decides their own strategy.

I think, in every situation, it's important to find the right balance. If you have to spend money, try and spend that money in the right way to take players with the right characteristics for your idea of football.

It's not important, the relationship between the coaches.

In Italy, you're in your comfort zone when it comes to language, lifestyle, your habits and preparations, and moving abroad is not easy. It's not easy to carry over your own ideas about football, your own methods. You have to get everything across in a different language, and that wastes a lot of energy.

The Premier League is an extremely difficult competition.

Perhaps I'll work as a director of football. I don't know.

The most important thing for me is the work, my job, and then to go to my house to be satisfied with my work.

Every manager must be prepared to face every situation.

During a season, you have different moments, up and down, but you have to hope in a good team to have good stability.

My worry is to try to improve my players, to work with them, to find the best solution for the club, and to give satisfaction to the fans because they deserve the best.

It is important that when you play at home in front of your own fans, not to lose and to always try and win, to always give your all.

I think that when I start a season, I speak with my players, and I always talk about education and respect. And I demand this, but I give this.

When I became a manager, my enthusiasm became more because when you have the possibility to waste your energy and show your passion during the game; it is good.

The English experience has greatly enriched me, and I'd like to carry on as manager.

It is important for the manager to find the right solution for your team.

Chelsea belongs in the Champions League, and we must stay there.

When I was in Italy, I liked to say, no, that the manager, the coach, is like a tailor. A tailor who must build a dress, the best dress for the team.

When you are a player, a footballer, or a manager of a great club like Chelsea, you must play to win. To win. To win the title. Or to fight and, at the end, to compete with the other teams to win the title and reach your targets.

The pressure, for me, is not important. I was born with pressure. The pressure is not important for me.

When a player deserves to play, with me, he'll play.

If the club decides to sack me, honestly, I don't feel this pressure.

All my coaching life, I am the same, always on the touchline, the same way. I am in the game all the time. I am focused.

When a new coach comes to a new club with new ways, new ideas, the players have to adapt.

I adapt my idea of football to my players, not adapt my players in my idea of football. It's important because there are others players that must play. The players are the most important things in football. I adapt my idea within my players.

It's important for me to exalt my players in their strengths and to try and cover their weakness, no?

It's important for the coach when you arrive to understand the players and to understand every single player's strength and their weakness.

For me, it's important to concentrate to the present and leave the past.

Foreseeing the future is always difficult.

I always show great respect for everyone, including Manchester United.

When you lose, you learn a lot about yourself. That experience is important.

When I am not working, my family are the most important.

I like to go to church. Religion is an important part in my life. It has helped me in bad moments.

The pitch is the most important thing for us: not the words, not on paper.

I prefer to be a great team not only on paper but also on the pitch. The pitch is the truth. The pitch speaks.

It's important to win with style.

You can win, but you have to show that you win with the idea of playing good football.

The way I suffer after a defeat is not for all, because I suffer. I suffer. But those who know me know that, after this, I start stronger with more hunger, more desire, because I don't like to lose.

Every coach has to put himself in his club and to try to become a really important coach for his club. The most important thing is that the club can be happy, the fans can be happy, and the players can be happy with your work. This must be our task. Then, if you are No. 4, No. 5, No. 6, this is not important.

You have to respect the job of the other coach and then stop. He's an opponent: I stop. Finish. I have respect for his job. He must have respect for my job.
