Antonio Conte believes that Chelsea should act on the example of Tottenham when rebuilding the backbone of the team.

"Over the past few years, Tottenham has done an impressive job. Pochettino managed to lay a very good foundation for this club, "said Comte.

"I think we should follow this example, because now we do not have the same foundation, the same foundation that Tottenham has. I really respect Tottenham for the fantastic work they did. It was thanks to this work that they fought for the championship in the last two seasons ".

"I want to help Chelsea lay the same strong foundation, because now we do not have it. But this takes time, because this is the beginning of a new process.

We lost such important players as John Terry, John Obi Mikel, Branislav Ivanovich, Didier Drogba. Over the past few years, we have lost many key players, who now need to replace the ".

"We need to approach this process with patience, because in order to build something not only for the present, but also for the future, it takes time. We are working very hard and trying to make our team stronger ".

On Sunday, August 20, Chelsea will travel to Tottenham to watch the second round of the English Premier League.
