  • Reaction after Chelsea beat Spurs 2-1 in first EPL game at Wembley Stadium

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Antonio Conte, Chelsea head coach:
    "I want to thank my players because they showed me great desire, great spirit, great will, great heart. Great will to fight. I saw today the fighters and for sure I saw a lot of positive things in a moment not easy for us with the suspensions (and) with injuries."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Antonio Conte, Chelsea head coach:
    "It's not important if we're not favourite in this league. It was the same last season. We know that we are trying. We are trying to improve our team, our squad and the club is trying to do its best in the transfer market to try to improve the team and the squad."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham manager:
    "I am happy with the performance of the team. I think we dominate the game, we were the team that create the most chances. The only problem was that they were clinical in front of the goal and only two shots they scored twice and for us it was difficult to score."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham manager:
    (Q: Every time you lose here, people are going to talk about the Wembley jinx. It's inevitable. What psychological effect does that have)
    Pochettino: It doesn't affect me but I understand that we need to talk (about playing at Wembley) and everyone needs to talk. But today I think Wembley is not the reason we lose the game. I think the team played really, really well and it's not fair to blame Wembley because for me Wembley is one of the best place in the world, if not the best place in the world to play football."
