Chelsea must be brave to transform their season in a pivotal week ahead, according to boss Antonio Conte.
Asked if a great week now could allow Chelsea to improve their season and deliver a timely pick-me-up, Conte replied: “But for sure we have to try to do this.
“It won’t be easy, but first of all I think we have to go game by game.
“Now the most important game for us is Roma in the Champions League.
“Then after this game we must start to think about Manchester United.”
Asked if he expected any repeat of those unsavoury chants against any of his players, Conte said: “No, I don’t know. I think that Roma supporters are very passionate.
“I’m not sure about this. Roma’s fans are very passionate, in the game you feel this.
“I have players with a good experience of facing this type of situation [experiencing intimidating atmospheres].
“We’re there to play football, but we want to try to play better than in the first game.”
