Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta has lifted the lid on life with manager Antonio Conte and owner Roman Abramovich.

Azpilicueta admits Conte always keeps his players on their toes.

He told AS: "He's demanding.

"Yes. A guy who knows he can and should ask us for the most from this team."

Azpilicueta also discussed Abramovich.

"Chelsea is there because of the investment he made and his commitment. He is a very discreet person, sometimes he is there and you do not know that you have him next to you!"

Asked if the billionaire ever imposed himself on team matters, he added: "No, not at all. He is the owner, but respects spaces well."
