Guardiola has the full support of Man City while Conte has repeatedly complained about Chelsea's transfer policy. |
"I don't like people who are jealous of others," Conte replied when asked about the difference in shopping between Chelsea and Man City. "I admire them because they found a way to succeed after a long time. Man City has enough conditions to invest heavily because they have a talented strategist and the ambition to become the top team."
"Man City look unstoppable at the moment. They can definitely finish the season with 100 points because they showed their best. I believe they will be even stronger next season."
Chelsea entered the match at the Etihad Stadium as the defending champions but few believed that Conte and his team could defend their title. The London team is currently in fifth place and 22 points behind Man City with only 10 rounds left.
Last season, Chelsea won the championship with 93 points, two points less than the Premier League record they set in the 2004-2005 season. Man City currently has 75 points and can reach 105 points if they win all the remaining rounds.
The big opponents that Man City will face at the end of the season are Chelsea, Man Utd and Tottenham. In which, the two matches with Man Utd and Tottenham will take place consecutively in rounds 33 and 34.
