Morata: "I was indebted to Conte"

Álvaro Morata, author of 3 goals in the first 4 days of the Premier League, has spoken in an interview in the Daily Mail about his relationship with Chelsea coach Antonio Conte. "I spoke with Conte several times and not just this summer. I felt indebted to him. He wanted me for Juventus, but then, when I arrived, he left and directed the Italian team. I always wanted to play with him and in less than 2 months it seems that I have known him since always, "said the striker exmadridista.

Morata also said that "when I spoke with Conte last summer, I said: 'If I leave Real Madrid, it will only be to go to Chelsea.' Juventus announced the signing of the Madrid striker on July 19, 2014, 4 days after today's blue coach resigned as coach of the 'vecchia signora' (in August signed as coach of Italy). Three years later, Morata and Conte have coincided in the set of Stamford Bridge.
