Chelsea boss Conte calls for character and steel for title run in

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has called for steel from his players at Everton today.

Conte's men need 12 points from five games, although that number will be less if second-placed Tottenham drop points. And the Blues boss wants his players to show their warrior spirit to get the job done.

He said: “In this part of the season, it's very important to have players with good personality, with strong ­characters, because you must be ready to face a different situation.

“In the team, we have a lot of warriors and I work every day to make them warriors. It's great to have talent, but I like it when you are a warrior during the game and, above all, if players with ­talent show they work hard during the game."
