Antonio Conte

David Luiz has to work with the others if he deserves to play; otherwise, he will stay on the bench or in the stands.

For me, to have my family with me is very important.

I don't think a player like Messi is a selfish player.

In my team, I don't want selfish players. I prefer to lose a game than have selfish players. I don't want that in my club. Never.

For me, it is sad when I listen to this, that one player must be more selfish to reach the top level.

It is very difficult in the transfer market for the teams that need to improve their squads.

For you to even enquire about one player, he is expensive. You go to buy a right-back, a left-back, or a central defender, and he is expensive.

I don't want advantages for my team. I want the same rest as our opponents. It's very difficult to do this? I don't think so.

I want to protect my club. I want to try to protect my players. I want to try to protect my fans. Also, I want to try to protect the Premier League.

You have to have respect on the pitch.

Paolo Maldini never won, but he was the best defender in the world. Gianluigi Buffon never won; he was the best goalkeeper in the world for many years. But this is the story of the Ballon d'Or.

When I was a player, I wanted to win the Ballon d'Or, but I knew my characteristics; I knew that it was impossible.

I must take the best decision for the club, not for a single player.

Ours is the most precarious work, as you are in one place today, and tomorrow you are in another.

Our target is to win, not to try to make all the players happy.

Every team has to understand what their ambitions are. If their ambitions are to fight for the title or win the Champions League, you must buy expensive players. Otherwise, you continue to stay in your level. It's simple.

When someone makes a mistake, it's right to underline this type of situation and find the best solution to avoid the same mistake in the future.

As a player, I was very lucky to have so many good managers in my career. I remember the first two at Lecce: Eugenio Fascetti and Carlo Mazzone. They were very important for me and my growth.

After the training session, video analysis. You can see the good and the bad, show players how to improve. Not because I want to find blame. Sometimes 20 or 30 minutes of video is more important than three training sessions.

When the technique doesn't arrive at the best level, arrive with your heart, with head, with enthusiasm, with passion, with work.

Video analysis is big for me. Through video, you see good things and bad things and can show players how to improve.

You don't create a big and strong team easily.

I like to call it a 'sacred fire' when you have it inside you: the will to win every game.

I think the past is not important. For every player, for every single player, the past stay there. If you did well in the past, OK.

I like to follow the training session with my voice. To call at them and explain my reasons and my ideas of football. It's important to make them understand: when to move, to time it right, not wrong - the right movement.

I like to see the present, to work for the present, and to try to improve for the future.

I miss Italy; that's beyond doubt.

I think my task is to work with my players, to improve my team. This is my task.

I hope to have my players in good physical condition, all players, and then to face all competitions.

Many times, I know before I speak to the player what they are thinking. It's very important to know when to push, when to put the pressure on, and when to take it off.

When I first starting coaching, I used a megaphone.

I try to avoid all mistakes. I try to prepare my players and to put them in the best condition to play the game. If you discover a problem during the game, it is too late. You must anticipate and prepare.

I think, when you reach the top level, it is less about the money itself; it is important only because the level of earning shows the importance of the player or the manager. I don't think people want to have the money just to spend it. It is a reflection of your importance in football.

I try to dress well. Not just now at Chelsea, but all my career, at my clubs and the national team in Italy, I like to wear a nice suit on the touchline.

I like to study everything: the way to be dangerous when you are attacking; what the players should do when you don't have the ball; where they should be. The tactics you tell the players to follow come from all this study.

Every coach, during a game, it is important to understand the situation to change.

If they deserve it, I'm ready to play with very young players. Why not?

Sometimes the opponents deserve a red card, but instead, they carry on playing with 11 men. So you also have to be more lucky in the future.

To play three games in seven days is not simple, above all for our wings-backs.

We have to try to do our best in every game with great ambition, because we must always have the right ambition. But at the same time, sometimes you have to compliment your opponent. You must be honest and accept the result.

To defend - it is very difficult to win two titles in a row.

Every game, I have to make the best decision. I repeat: my players must be happy to stay in Chelsea and to play for Chelsea and to play for our fans. They must be happy if they start the game or if they stay on the bench and come on.

Every coach, when starting work at a new club, hopes to stay many, many years because it means you are working very well. You have the possibility to improve your players, to improve your team, and to grow together.

Sometimes you can win, and you are preparing to disrupt yourself. Sometimes you don't win, but you are preparing yourself to be better.

Sometimes you can win, but you are not building something positive for your future.

To arrive and try to fight for the Champions League, to try to fight to be the best in the world, you need time.

Every season is tough.

When you are in a new country, and you are alone and know that your family don't stay here, it is not simple.

If you trust in an idea of football, and you trust in the team, it's important to have a squad with good balance.

The target for every great champion is to play for the team.
