Swansea vs. Chelsea: Antonio Conte’s Key Pre-Match Press Conference Quotes
- Updated: September 9, 2016
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has said summer signings David Luiz and Marcos Alonso can improve his squad, although it’s unlikely either player will start in Sunday’s Premier League clash at Swansea City.
The Blues boss suggested his two late defensive signings are good assets to the team, per Chelsea’s official Twitter account, but it will take time for the pair to adapt to his philosophies, per Goal’s Nizaar Kinsella:
Conte won’t start Luiz! “I think the new players need a bit of time to work with a new method of football” #CFC #Chelsea

The former Juventus and Italy coach detailed Luiz will play in central defence, because that’s the area in which he needed resources this summer.
Before Sunday’s clash at the Liberty Stadium, Premier League attention will turn toward Saturday’s Manchester derby at Old Trafford, although Conte’s mind is focused elsewhere:
Conte on the Manchester derby: ‘We know that is a great match but we must only be focused on our game which will be tough.’ #CFC
