Last night, leading 2-0, Chelsea looked as if they were going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory when Roma showed their class to take a 3-2 lead.
Thankfully, Eden Hazard was on hand to snatch an equaliser, with a deft header, to ensure Chelsea got a point to remain top of Group C, with three games to play.
After the dust had died down on an exhilarating match, Antonio Conte took time out to speak to the media, with the boss remarking about what we`d just witnessed,
‘It was fair. It was a difficult game against a good team. Above all in the first half we suffered, our performance was good but for sure our football is different than today.
‘We suffered in possession and it wasn’t easy in the first half, despite scoring two goals. The change of the system wasn’t good, but when you are in a difficult situation you have to change and sometimes to improvise.
‘When we changed in the second half the situation was changing. David Luiz had a little problem in his calf and in this moment I can’t risk my players, we are playing always the same players.’
A valuable point but it is now three games, in all competitions, since Chelsea won!
