Willian Represents Everything Antonio Conte Wants From His Team in Barcelona

Chelsea have come in for criticism for their abject performance against Manchester City

Chelsea have come in for criticism for their abject performance against Manchester City

The central defender made just nine league appearances in his final year at Chelsea but provided valuable off-field support to Conte as the Italian led the west London club to the title.

He has scored five goals in five games, the best run of his Chelsea career, which is timely ahead of Wednesday's Champions League last 16, second leg match in Barcelona.

We will have to show great resilience.

"We are playing against one of the best teams in the world and we have to try to have the same focus - the same attention as in the first leg".

Eden Hazard was used as a false nine by Conte in their loss to Manchester City last Sunday and the forward was unhappy with the role insisting that it is hard for him to a play a good game when he only touches the ball three times according to the Telegraph.

"It won't be easy".

"But we have to work as a team and try to be ready to suffer the moments we have to suffer, and in every moment we have to know that we can have a chance to score".

Coach Conte lauds Willian as Chelsea set sights on Barca
Following that loss, Eden Hazard raised eyebrows by saying he could have played for "three hours" and not touched the ball. Also because, don't forget, we have a target in the league to try and take a place in the Champions League .

"When you arrive at that point in your career, though, you start to have your mind more open".

Conte stressed he will continue to make tactical decisions as he sees fit and will deal with any issues his players may have in private, rather that through the press.

Yet Conte could still call upon the Belgium playmaker to fulfil that role on Wednesday, or opt for either Olivier Giroud or Alvaro Morata as a more conventional striker.

The Blues play struggling Crystal Palace on Saturday evening, hoping to return to winning ways in the Premier League after two losses, 2-1 to Manchester United and 1-0 to Manchester City. "But the commitment of all my players was good".

Two super strikes came out off the post, he created four chances for team mates and constantly put the opposition on the back foot with his penetrative dribbling.

Palace manager Roy Hodgson insisted: "We won't go gently out of the league, if we are going to go". "If I'd started with Zaha and he'd broken down - after only one and a half training sessions - the question would have been very different. I was on the bench against Piacenza". "We've had defeats against top teams but haven't discredited ourselves".
