Theex Italy gaffer has provided reasons why he started
Zappacosta rather than his preferred choice at right wing-back last season.
''He (Davide) played a really good game but now he has to
continue to work to improve,'' Conte told reporters, according to
chelseafc.com.
''For sure he knew very well my style of football & my
idea of football. For this reason, I decided to start with him. He was prepared
to play. He played very well.''
He continued : ''For him it was his first appearance at
Stamford Bridge. It’s not easy to totally change your sporting life in one
week, but the answer was very good.
''He has said he wanted to cross, but he scored & it’s
important for us.
''I am very pleased with the performance. Now we have to
continue in this way with him & the other players. I had a positive answer
from my players tonight''.
Goals from Pedro , Davide Zappacosta ,Tiemoue Bakayoko , César Azpilicueta , Michy Batshuayi
including an own-goal secured a routine win for Chelsea
against the Azerbaijani champions at Stamford Bridge.
