If he wins the FA Cup, Conte will break through to... smoke in a cigarette

    VIỆT HÙNG |

    The 47-year-old coach is famous for being strict with himself and always having un broken principles. However, with special events like Chelsea winning the FA Cup, if that happens, Conte will break one of his biggest principles.

    In addition to being an opportunity for the club to win the FA Cup final, for Conte, this was also considered the sweetest " repayment" for the Blues' 0-3 defeat to Arsenal in September 2016.

    The 47-year-old captain has said he will "go broke ground" if Chelsea win the FA Cup on the night of May 27. This title will mark an unmatchable season for Conte in his first "westerly, steady" year in the foggy country.

    "We have had a great season in the Premier League but things will be perfect if we win tonight. To do that, the team needs to beat Arsenal.

    After the victory, we will open ginseng-panh to celebrate as usual. As for me personally, I am willing to smoke a cigarette if Chelsea win the FA Cup, I have never smoked before and also promised myself that I will not touch a single cigarette," Conte shared.

    Talking about the journey from losing 0-3 to Arsenal in September 2016 to facing opponents in the FA Cup Final, the Italian coach said that it was the "hatred" that made him and the club stronger.

    "It was difficult to accept failure at that time, I was no longer myself for 2 days. Not only me, the whole family felt sad about that failure, from my wife to the children.

    I was very angry after the 0-3 defeat but I knew my anger was on the right track. Right after the failure, I tried to adjust myself and the club, everything gradually improved."

    Sharing about how the coaching profession handles situations in difficult cases such as the 0-3 defeat to Arsenal, the former Juventus coach said:

    "I think the value of each coach will be decided at such times. A highly rated coach must be someone who understands and finds a solution at that time and puts the club in the right direction for the rest of the season.

    Honestly, in every situation, I am always as calm as possible. I put everything I have in mind, ability to make hard moves in the club's coaching work. No matter what happens, stay calm and keep your soul calm."

    The FA Cup final between Arsenal and Chelsea will take place at Wembley Stadium at 11:30 p.m. on May 27, Vietnam time.
