The Chelsea team is absent from European competitions this season after finishing last season in 10th position, and Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has admitted that it’s helping the team a lot, although he’d prefer to be in those competitions.
He said: “It’s important because we have more days to work. When you arrive at a new club you need time to work if you want to bring your methods, ideas and philosophies, but I’d prefer to play in the Champions League, it’s a great tournament and a team like Chelsea must play in it.”
