Antonio Conte has leapt to Alvaro Morata’s defence, after the striker was criticised for his performance against Arsenal.
The Chelsea No. 9 has had a flying start to life at Chelsea, but could not improve on his tally of three goals and two assists.
His critics feel he is lacking in the physical section and Conte has dismissed any such criticism, as he maintains he is happy with his performance against Arsenal.
“I don’t know [if his physicality is a problem],” Conte said at his post-match news conference.
“In my opinion, Morata played a really good game.
“I’m very happy with his performance. In my opinion, for me, he played very well today. He had a lot of the ball and tried to send Willian, Pedro, our wing-backs [forward with his passes].
“He played a really good game. We are focused on whether the No.9 scores or not.
“If he scored he played a good game, if he doesn’t he didn’t have a good game. But I was happy with his performance. We see different things.”
