IT HURTS TO SEE DE BRYUNE AT CITY - CONTE

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has voiced out his dissapointment in Chelsea's decision to sell Kevin De bryune.

The Belgian is currently preparing for a showdown with Chelsea on Saturday. Prior to this fixture Chelsea manager Conte said in a press conference that it is a "pity" to see De Bryune at Manchester City.

"De Bruyne played with Chelsea and is a really
great player," Conte said.

"It's a pity that, now, he's playing for another team because he's a fantastic player. But now he plays with Manchester City. I wish for him the best after our game."

Also speaking about his team ahead of his encounter, the manager praised his strikei Diego Costa. The striker who has just one yellow card left to hand him an automatic suspension has managed to keep a clean record for the past seven matches.

"I'm pleased for him, for Diego," Conte added.

"Diego is showing great respect, great passion
in the right way during these games. It's
fantastic for him, for his teammates, for the
club. Also it's great to talk about Diego in a
positive way and not a bad way.

"I remember at the start of the season, the
only questions on Diego were about his passion not being good, about trying to change his behaviour and attitude.

"I think Diego is behaving very well and his
attitude is fantastic. Now it's important to
continue in this way."
