Chelsea goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois has told Sky Sports, as reported by the Express that his side’s accolades this season have been a result of their ruthlessly demanding head coach, Antonio Conte.
Pundits and fans alike, have cited many different reasons behind Chelsea’s league dominance thus far.
Some say it has been a result of the workhorse, N’Golo Kante, who Chelsea signed from Leicester in the summer for £30 million.
Others suggest the lack of Champions League football has given the Blues more energy to that of their rivals. Courtois looked no further than Chelsea’s head coach.
If you have a manager who is not demanding then sometimes you relax and you lose games.
Chelsea, have been far from relaxing as they sit on top of the English Premier League by a whopping nine points.
With Courtois and the rest of the Chelsea squad certainly doing their due-diligence as they also tally a league-best 13 clean sheets.
Hugo Lloris, of Tottenham, is the nearest competitor of that mark with an underwhelming nine goalless matches.
Courtois, 22, welcomes Conte’s approach with open arms as the Belgian has taken quite a liking to the managerial style.
It is good if you have a manager who is demanding a lot.
With the team from west London in champions-to-be form, the Chelsea shot-stopper correlates this success once again, to Conte’s philosophy.
You have to be at your top every week, and that is what makes you champions.
