Conte hopes to find solution to stop Manchester City

CAIRO – 15 December 2017: Manchester City’s amazing run in the Premier League does not surprise Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, who hopes to find a solution to stop them.

“Manchester City are not a surprise for me. At the start of the season, all the people said the league was for two contenders – Man City and Manchester United,” Conte told press on Friday.

Manchester City tops the Premier League table with 49 points – 11 points ahead of the second-placed team, Manchester United, and 14 points above Conte’s Chelsea.

Conte believes that Manchester City has fixed all their problems during the summer and added a lot of quality to the team. He said, “This is a great team, but this team was a great team last season. During the transfer market they reached their targets.”

Conte won the Premier League title in his first season with Chelsea in 2016.

Conte warned Europe from the destructive team Man City is building, saying, “We must pay great attention – not only in England – because Man City is building a strong team to lead in Europe.”

Manchester City reached the UEFA Champions League round of 16, and the draw put them against Switzerland’s Basel.
