Conte reveals why Chelsea may not defend Premier League title

Conte begins the defence of their Premier League title on Saturday, amid a backdrop of transfer frustration, an ugly stand-off with Diego Costa and missing his star player, Eden Hazard.

Speaking on Friday ahead of the game, Conte failed to hide his frustration.

“Honestly, if you have to give your evaluation on the card (on paper) it’s right. It’s right not to put Chelsea to be a favourite.

“It was the same last season. Not one person believed Chelsea would win the title. This season, in this moment, I agree with these people who think this,” the Italian said.

When asked why he was so gloomy about Chelsea’s chances, Conte replied: “Why? I have always answered this question, not only once but twice, three times.”
