Despite the fact that Chelsea is the current champion of the country, the coach of Londoners Antonio Conte does not believe that his team has the greatest chance of retaining the title.

"It will be correct not to include Chelsea in the list of favorites of the Premier League," - began the Italian.

"On paper, we do not look like that. Similarly, it was the case last season - no one believed that Chelsea would win the title.

Before the start of this season, at the moment I agree with people who do not consider us favorites ".

"Generally speaking about such things is the business of journalists. My task is to work and work again, try to improve the players and the team. The most important thing for me, our coaching staff and football players is to give 120 percent, and then we'll see how everything goes, "concluded Comte.

Earlier, the Italian specialist repeatedly publicly urged the leadership of Chelsea to strengthen the composition.
