Burnley boss Dyche: Conte's Italian ways driving Chelsea success

Burnley boss Sean Dyche appreciates the hard-working style of Chelsea rival Antonio Conte.

When it comes to grafting, the Burnley boss, whose unheralded mill town club is built on a strong work ethic and drive, maintains that Chelsea – despite their riches – are no prima donnas.

Dyche said: “Am I right in thinking they have mainly used the same 13 players this season?

“Maybe that adds to the galvanising feeling. The Italian way is very structured, very organised. They have shown signs of having a good team belief and camaraderie.

“Their reality and expectation is to win a lot of games, if not to win all the time – to be right up there. You need an underlying culture, a team unity for that."
