My players know very well what our work is and what we have to do. For sure we are going to try to fight against this speculation.
'There is only one way, to win and play good football. I think until the end we continue to live with this speculation.
For me it is not important.'Chelsea fans made their feelings crystal clear on Monday, singing Conte's name on several occasions - a clear indication that they'd prefer him to stay.
'For sure I have to thank the fans,' he said. 'They showed me great support because I think they are reading speculation and rumours about me.'It means that, maybe in our 18 months together, they understand my passion and my will to defend these colours, this shirt, this badge.
