Here's some of what the Italian had to say. His endeavour, application and precision setting the standard for others to follow.
Antonio Conte accepts Chelsea will face an uphill battle to qualify for the Champions League if they fail to beat Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. Costa too bought these same vital attributes to the team. He is recovering from a problem in his knee.
Gary Cahill is ready to step in for Christensen and No 2 keeper Willy Caballero is celebrating a prized first cap for Argentina - aged 36. But there's a sense that he's trying to change his pattern, to be more patient.
"He has started to have training sessions".
The most successful periods for the Blues footballing history have always coincided with them possessing a no-nonsense physical striker who can bully the defenders and act as a single point of attack.
Conte said: "We do have two big problems - Courtois and Christensen - and we have to check them carefully".
He was on TalkSport Tuesday morning, spreading his message of peace, love, and unity not for the first or the second time. In this run, I put Liverpool as well.
However, he held out for the United job as PSG hired Unai Emery, on the back of his three successive Europa League victories with Sevilla.
"This must be a great satisfaction for me and for the team".
Speaking ahead of the clash Conte said: "This is an important game".
Chelsea managerial target Thomas Tuchel reportedly has an agreement in place with Paris Saint-Germain according to Le Parisien, as cited by Get French Football.
Antonio Conte has conceded Chelsea's chances of qualifying for the Champions League may hinge on beating Tottenham on Sunday.
With no totem to rally around other than possibly Hazard, it is important that leadership and direction come from all corners. "Nothing is impossible at the moment, and we just have to try to win every game".
"In these years, they grew a lot".
The L'Equipe report is behind a paywall, but Le Parisien has the details.
'We are talking about a really good team, with a good manager and many talented players in this team. Not much of a talker and never a shouter, it is his actions that speak loudest.
'It's a long time [the unbeaten home record against Spurs] and for sure, I remember the game two years ago. "I hope to find a good solution".
