The story behind Conte and the 'rebel group' at Chelsea

Although Chelsea won the FA Cup 2017/18, but the future of coach Antonio Conte in the Blues is still very dim. However, no smoke, no smoke.

Just days before the 2016/17 FA Cup final, Conte eagerly took the picture with the Premier League trophy in the operating room overlooking Stamford Bridge. Sitting in a deluxe room, the Italian manages to discuss plans to bring his family to live in the mist.

At that time, the English Premier League with records has occupied Conte's mind, and Chelsea are automatically assessed can swept Arsenal to win the double title. But the FA Cup final turned out to be the start of a chain of collapses of confidence that Conte may have to trade with his chair, whether Chelsea won or not beat United in the FA Cup final. 2017/18.

Conte allows students to enjoy the pleasure of winning in the Premiership for up to two weeks. He has a strong belief that they will focus again, in time for the final with Arsenal. However, contrary to Conte's expectations, Chelsea performed one of the worst games of the season. Victor Moses was disqualified, and Diego Costa insisted after the match that he only wanted to join Atletico Madrid instead of China.

Only 11 days later, Costa revealed to reporters that he had been told he was no longer in the Chelsea squad by a message from Mr Conte. Of course, the Brazilian striker immediately strikes. The Blues understood Conte's desire to sell Costa - who has had a "unattractive" relationship with him since January 2017.

However, Chelsea did not expect Conte to be so blunt. The short message Conte sent not only caused Chelsea a loss of money related to Costa's transfer fee, but also to the Stamford Bridge team lost the Champions League - where they can pocket from 50 to 70 million pounds . Chelsea finished the English Premier League 2017/18 with 23 points less than last season, and the cause is not small from the departure of Costa.

In the Premiership this season, Conte's team only conceded five goals more than last season, but the number of goals scored less than 23 goals. Costa is the number one striker of Chelsea with 20 times to tear the opponent's net while Eden Hazard's number is 12, more than 1 for the record deal Alvaro Morata.

The Chelsea manager knows it will be difficult to have a suitable player in place for Costa, as Conte still thinks, and they are also concerned that more stars, including Hazard, will defect if the Italian strategist finishes the game. last year of the contract. The message sent to Costa was sent throughout the Chelsea squad, and it created a real shock.

It's not just a regular message, but it shows how Conte easily engulfed a star, and the relationship between the 48-year-old teacher and other key players is rapidly wiped out. David Luiz has been marginalized since suggesting Gary Cahill should be on the right in the 3-man clash at Chelsea against Roma in the Champions League in Italy over Antonio Ruediger, and he reserves the opinion at the subsequent meeting.

Kenedy was caught yawning at the meeting and also rare to play, before being pushed to Newcastle on loan. Conte and Willian's relationship has also been rattled since the arrival of the Brazilian midfielder after being substituted in the FA Cup semi-final against Southampton on 22 April. Since then, Willian has been playing just one game.

However, Conte - Hazard is probably the worst relationship. The 27-year-old was conteously vying for the 9th place in the 0-1 defeat at Man City, receiving criticism. After that defeat, Conte occasionally dragged Hazard to the wings, and from here the future of the Belgian striker in Chelsea become ignorant.

No longer able to compete with the rivals in the transfer market, Chelsea's work now simply does not lose the best players. That means when faced with a choice of Hazard, two is Conte, boss Roman Abramovich must have answered. Jose Mourinho has lost to Kevin De Bruyne, Mohamed Salah, Romelu Lukaku, and Abramovich do not want the same scenario to happen again.

Hazard has confirmed he is waiting for Chelsea to recruit some "quality players" before deciding on the future. However, the truth is he is waiting for the man who will lead the Blues next season. If Conte is sacked, Chelsea will have to lose £ 9m in compensation for the final year of the contract. But that is the price Abramovich is willing to pay, for a long-term future of the club.
