Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has confirmed club owner Roman Abramovich visited the training ground this week.

However, it was before their thrashing in Rome.

Chelsea went on to lose 3-0 to Roma on Tuesday, two days after Abramovich's Sunday visit, but Conte insisted that the Chelsea owner's visit to watch the players train was normal.

"Yes, Mr Abramovich was in Cobham on Sunday after the Bournemouth game to watch the training, to speak. But it's normal, this," Conte said on Friday.

"Honestly, we spoke about the Bournemouth game and then the first game against Rome. We spoke about this."

He added: "I feel always the same pressure. The same pressure. Because, before the game, I feel the pressure to win. In every game. Last season it was the same. When you stay on top of the table you feel the pressure to win because you want to stay on top of the table.

"Above all for me because I'm a passionate man with a great enthusiasm. I need to feel this type of pressure. Yes, I like the pressure. I was born with the pressure."
