Antonio Conte has been speaking to the media ahead the weekends encounter with Manchester United. In particular he spoke about Andreas Christensen. He sees the young Dane as a candidate to lead Chelsea as club captain for many years. The Evening Standard run an article outlining the quotes. Antonio Conte spoke about Christensen, whose unfortunate, misplaced pass lead to Barcelona`s equaliser on Tuesday.
`Personally I forgot this mistake. Also for him. When you are a player, you can make a lot of mistakes in your career. If I had to talk about all the mistakes I made in my career, we’d have to be here for one day. It doesn’t matter.`
Fine words from the manager there. I don`t think there are many supporters who would have held that mistake against Christensen either. He`s cemented his place in the starting XI ahead of the more experienced David Luiz this season. Conte continued,
`Christensen is having a fantastic season and showing great maturity. For me, apart from the mistake, his performance was great, was wonderful. I have a lot of trust in Christensen.`
`This player is a player for the present for Chelsea, and for Chelsea’s future for 10 or 12 years. He can also become the captain of this team in the future.`
That`s something we certainly concur with here at Vital Chelsea
