Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta, has admitted that Chelsea players found it difficult to adapt to Antonio Conte’s 3-4-3 system at first, and many of them saw the formation as a strange one.

“At the beginning it was a bit strange,” he told Football Focus. “Most of us needed help playing in that system.

“But the manager decided to change the formation and since then we have been amazing. We have worked really hard and improved under that system.”

At the end, the players adjusted to the system and have gone on to win 14 of their last 15 league games.
