Willian Explains Why He Would Have Left If Conte Wasn't Sack


Willian said there is no chance he would still be at Chelsea if Antonio Conte remained the manager.




Willian caused a stir in the wake of Chelsea's FA Cup final triumph in May by posting a team celebration picture on his Instagram account in which Conte was cover with emoji

He also said Conte had been very difficult to work with,Speaking after Chelsea's 3-0 win over Huddersfield Town, though, Willian was adamant that his future lies at Stamford Bridge.

"Willian said. "I'm here because I want to play for Chelsea. I will only leave if Chelsea wanted me to go."

When asked if he would still be a Chelsea player if Conte had remained, Willian replied instantly: "No chance. No chance. No."

The early signs are that Willian will enjoy a prominent role under Sarri, having started the first game on Saturday and created the opening goal for N'Golo Kante with a cross from the left wing.

"We are just in the beginning," he said. "We know we have to improve. Jorginho has played very well. He has a lot of quality and helps our play build up from the back. I think we played very well.

"Now we have to continue like that because next week, we have a great game to play against Arsenal [on Saturday] and we want to win again."

Arsenal proved difficult opponents in Conte's two seasons as head coach, with Chelsea winning just one of eight matches against them in all competitions.

But with Sarri in charge, Willian is confident that they can regain the upper hand on their London rivals.


"We have a lot of players with quality up front, players like Eden Hazard and Pedro. Players like that want to play football, no? That's why Sarri talked about 'fun' football because he wants to build from the back. This is what we will try to do this season."
