騰訊體育8月2日訊


在即將到來的新賽季當中，切爾西並無征戰歐冠聯賽、歐聯盃賽的資格，藍軍新
任主教練孔蒂堅信，這一事實，將有助於球隊奪得新賽季的英超冠軍獎盃。


在上賽季的英超聯賽中，切爾西僅僅拿到了第10名。雖然貴為英超衛冕冠軍，然
而莫里尼奧在去年12月便因戰績不佳而慘遭解僱。荷蘭老帥希丁克臨危受命，他穩住
了切爾西急速下滑的糟糕局面，並且將藍軍平穩的過渡到了率領意大利國家隊征戰
2016年歐洲盃的孔蒂手中。


在接受《倫敦標準晚報》記者採訪時，孔蒂說道：“無緣歐冠可以說是一個巨大
的利好，因為我可以與麾下球員將全部精力都集中到英超聯賽當中。”


“當然，如果你問我是否願意面對這樣的局面，我的答案肯定是否定的，因為切
爾西根本就不應該缺席歐冠聯賽，對於我們這個級別的球隊來說，不打歐冠，你肯定
會有悵然若失的感受。眾所周知，歐冠聯賽是一項極為特殊的賽事，每一年你都渴望
在那項賽事中證明自己的能力。”


“不過，也正是由於切爾西在新賽季中沒有歐冠的壓力，我才能夠擁有整個星期
的時間來訓練自己麾下的球員。與切爾西前幾任主教練相比，我無疑能夠得到更多與
球員共同工作的時間。”


2011/12賽季，孔蒂成為了意甲豪門尤文圖斯的主教練，在那個賽季裡，斑馬軍
團沒有歐冠壓力，最終該隊也成功的在2012年奪得了意甲冠軍獎盃。孔蒂明確表示，
自己渴望在切爾西重現當年執教首年，在無歐冠壓力的情況下奪得聯賽冠軍的美好經
歷。


He said: “Chelsea aren't involved [in the Champions League] this season
but these things can happen to big teams. In my first season in charge of
Juventus, they were in the same position. I took over after they had
finished seventh the season before. Obviously we didn't play in the
Champions League or the Europa League and our energy was only focused on
the championship.


“We were able to take advantage of that and we won the title. I hope to
do the same with Chelsea. This season can be an opportunity for the
players to work even more than last season.”


Conte is fully aware, though, that with so many quality teams in the
Premier League, recreating his Juventus heroics at Chelsea — by becoming
champions at the first attempt — will still be no easy task. Not only
that but the division is blessed with a number of top managers, including
Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola, Mauricio Pochettino, Claudio Ranieri and
Jurgen Klopp.


With so much coaching and playing talent in the Premier League, Conte
believes cementing a Champions League place should be regarded as a
noteworthy achievement.


“It is going to be some battle to finish in the top four next season
between all the managers and some will lose out,” he said. “The players
know this, too. This club must play in the competition because for a club
like Chelsea, the Champions League is their home. It's important to get
back into it.


“This won't be easy because in England there are seven or eight teams who
are very tough and are ready to fight for the title. But that means they
are also all fighting for the top four.


“Yet we are Chelsea. We have a great team and we must find our way back
quickly to compete for the title or at least a top-four place. We are
working very hard to prepare and we want to try to cancel the bad season
of last year.”


There is still the matter of playing another European giant, AC Milan, on
Wednesday night here in Minneapolis — and then Werder Bremen in Germany
on August 7 — before Conte can begin trying to banish the memory of last
season.


The 3-2 defeat by Real Madrid, who were without Cristiano Ronaldo and
Gareth Bale, exposed a gap in quality, so much so that perhaps it might do
Conte good to have a full year to impose his methods on the players before
facing the continent's elite again.


Training has been intense since he arrived a few weeks ago. The switch to
a 4-2-4 has also provided a stern challenge for the players. But having
enjoyed a playing career lasting nearly 20 years, Conte believes he is
well-equipped to make such demands on his men.


“I have taken a lot from my experience as a footballer and this is
important,” he said. “I lived this for many years in a great team,
Juventus, where I was the captain.


“Then you understand. It is important to have lived through this
situation as a footballer. Many times when I speak to the player I know
before what they are thinking.


“It's very important to know when to push, when to put on a more relaxed
training session, when to deliver rotation. When to put the pressure on
and when to take it off.”
